Austin Sheltie Rescue is a 501(c)3 corporation. Our mission is to place homeless shelties into forever homes with loving families. Since January 1, 2006, we have rescued over 400 shelties from local shelters, surrendered from owners, and found as strays. We have been able to do this because of the wonderful network of volunteers that help us with rescuing, transporting, fostering, nurturing, healing, and providing loving and caring homes.
Our rescue is run by the generosity of others. We are always in need of families to foster our rescues. Being a foster home means sharing your home with a rescued dog: providing food, shelter, toys, walks (after the dog is well from heartworm treatment or more confident if shy), and lots of attention, until a permanent home for the dog is approved.
If you do not feel you can foster at this time, financial donations are also welcome.
Check out our adoptable shelties, or fill out an application to express your interest in a future available sheltie.
