Points to Remember

Donations:  A donation is always required when you adopt a Sheltie.  The asked amount is carefully set, considering many factors such as the age and needs of the adopted dog.  Your donation is used to help the continued number of Shelties that come into our Rescue.  Some of these dogs require extra medical care or special rehabilitation, which will entail much greater expense; we do not require, but would appreciate an extra donation.

Spaying/Neutering:  Any dog adopted from LISSR will have been spayed or neutered, because rescued Shelties are not suitable for breeding.  Rescued Shelties make marvelous friends, and placing them in loving, supportive environment is the only goal we will pursue.

Contracts:  All adopters of Rescue Dogs will be asked to sign an Adoption Agreement.  This contract is legal and binding.  Please read it carefully.

Miscellaneous:  We recommend you follow a regular inoculation program established by your veterinarian to ensure your dog stays healthy.  You will receive a complete medical history on your Sheltie, as best as can be determined or documented.  You must also have the dog licensed in accordance with the laws where you live.  Since we do not know you personally, the information from the Adoption Request Questionnaire (which is requested of anyone seeking a rescue Sheltie) will help us to match up the right kind of Sheltie for your family.  We place our Shelties only in good, loving homes, and we screen prospective adopters thoroughly.
