(scroll down after reading these important facts)

The Shelties you see below are currently available for adoption , unless otherwise noted.     To begin the Adoption process, you will need to read this first.     Adoption Information
 
All dogs in our program are purebred Shelties, unless otherwise noted.  

All Shelties listed are vet checked and healthy, spayed or neutered, current on shots, HW tested, wormed, flea protected and groomed before they leave here.  

We do not recommend most Shelties with toddlers.  If you have small children, we would suggest a Lab or Golden Retriever.   These breeds are much better with small children. 

For the comfort and safety of our dogs,  we require a fully fenced (front or rear) yard to adopt a dog from us. 

Size-  All Shelties that we list are measured (in inches) from the ground to the top of the dogs back/neck....not the top of the head.   There is NO SUCH BREED as a "Miniature Sheltie".   There are very small Shelties and there are large shelties, but they are all "Shelties"   

We need foster homes in the Iowa area.  Please email us if you are interested

 

 

 

 

Mac is a 5 year old bi black boy who forgot to stop growing! He measures about 17 inches at the front shoulder, but he's 17 inches of solid joy! This boy needs a FAMILY to play with. He is potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, already neutered, and up to date on all shots. Mac gets along well with other dogs, and really wants a couple 8-12 years old kids who will run and play with him. A fenced yard is required for Mac. He is warm, affectionate, and will fetch a toy until he just DROPS!

 

 

Angel - small 8 month old sable and white female puppy!
Special Needs.

Angel is a victim of DM.   We are fairly certain this is why she was dumped.  Right now Angel is having a major break-out because of the stress of being spayed and from being in a shelter and then coming here.  Her hair should start filling back in once she settles in.  Angel is a small Sheltie who will only reach 15 pounds we guess.  Angel will regrow the hair on her face, but will likely have scars. 
Angel is a playful, kissy, very sweet little girl, who just wants to be held and loved.   Its not her fault her breeders did not know what they were doing.  They say love is blind.... we sure hope so....  cause this girl has lots of love to give!   

 

 

Walker has had an extremely hard life. He is a small dark sable and at 11 years old he was turned over to rescue to determine his future. He’s extremely shy, a result of no human contact or any kind of domestication, but is gentile and has never barked the entire year he has been rehabilitated. His only wish is to have a shady spot to nap in the yard, a simple wish from a guy that has never caused any problems. He does okay in the house if crated but needs work on his house training. Fenced in yard required. For some reason he likes the mower and will follow it all around the yard. Do you have a quiet corner for him to feel safe in?

 

  Prince is all alone now after the death of his owner. He is a 12 year old sable in need of a human companion to comfort him. He likes to wander the yard and take treats from your hand. He likes people, other dogs, and cats. His eyes and hearing are not the greatest but he always knows where you are in the house and will follow you anywhere.

 

 

Stewart is going to be an agility champ some day. He is a happy healthy 1.5 year old sable male. He loves playing and is currently best friends with Angel. Other dogs, cats, and children would suit him just fine. Not much gets past him, he has to be involved in everything. True to his breed he is athletic and smart so it anyone would take the time to train him he could pick up anything. He’s around 22 pounds.
