Welcome

Update 4/8/25. Still available. He really needs a home with a very understanding family. He will never be a well socialized dog. He has an agreement with his foster home and has a good quality of life, but the fear is still there a year later. Loves walks, loves treats. But he's like the leading lady in the movie 50 First Dates. Update 12/19/24. Jackie Jack loves to play with his dog friends, but is leary of people. If you sit on the ground, he will come to you for pets. When you stand, he freaks out and runs away. Delete the ZERO recall from the previous entry. He now will come when you say "HERE!" (but you better have a treat to reinforce this good behavior!) Cracker Jack (we call him Jackie Jack) and his friends were surrendered by an owner who didn't have time for all the dogs they were breeding. He is very shy especially with strangers. He has ZERO recall, so we keep him on leash in the yard. He has gotten to where he loves walks and following...read more about Cracker Jack 1473

4/21/25 Bella is healthy and available for adoption! Bella came to us with a UTI and bladder stones. Antibiotics cured the UTI. Special food cleared up most of the stones in 2 weeks, and the last one was gone at week 4. The vet said keep her on the special food for 6 months, just to be sure. She also came in overweight and has lost 6 pounds already Bella is young and playful. She will herd you and nip at your ankle. We are trying to correct this by distracting her and throwing a toy. She has shown interest in squirrels and birds, but her favorite is chasing her shadow up and down the fence. She will come when called and is very food motivated. At some point in her life she was spoiled because she likes to sleep on her foster parents' bed at night. She likes to bark. Some triggers are running the kitchen sink water, but not the bathroom sink water or a shower. She walks well on leash and rides well in a car. Shes a really fun girl. Height __ inches, Weight 28 po...read more about Bella 1493

Sheltie Rescue of Ga., Inc. is a non-profit organization, composed solely of volunteers, dedicated to saving Shetland Sheepdogs (Shelties) who have been surrendered by their owners, neglected, abused, or are strays. Established in 1994, SRGA is the oldest and most respected organization of its kind in Georgia. We have placed more than 1500 dogs into permanent homes.

All "Rescued" Shelties are immediately taken to a veterinarian to be treated for any obvious medical condition, tested for heartworms and intestinal parasites, brought current on all shots (including rabies), started on heartworm and flea preventative, spayed or neutered and placed in a loving Foster Home until a suitable permanent home can be found. "Rescued" Shelties come in all ages, colors, sizes and personalities. Rarely do we have puppies under the age of (one) 1 year old.

If you are interested in adopting, please complete our Online Application.

Your donations are welcome. Sheltie Rescue of Georiga, Inc. is 501 (c) (3).
