It is the purpose of Minnesota Sheltie Rescue to best meet the needs of every Sheltie that comes into our program. We adopt locally to the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota.

Our volunteers make every effort to match each Sheltie with the right person for them. Our application process includes contacting an applicant’s references and completing a home visit with the applicant prior to arranging a meeting with a foster dog.

Please read our Frequently Asked Questions to understand more about our policies and our process. If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, open How to Adopt for more information about the adoption process and submit an application. 

We think Shelties are beautiful! They have some unique traits and may not be for everyone. We know and love this breed and want each and every family who adopts one of our dogs to love them as we do. Click on About the Breed to read more about the Sheltie.
