YES!! We had a picnic this year after missing out for the last three years. It was on October 7th and we had a great time. Check out the photos on our "Events and News" page.
Our last Sheltie event of the year was marching in the Old Town Scottish Walk in Alexandria, Virginia, on December 2. Shelties (Shetland Sheepdogs) are definitely Scottish and very proud of it. We were real "crowd-pleasers."
We had our Shelties at two fun events in September!! We were "stars" among the "Dogs of Scotland" at the Virginia Scottish Games, September 2-3 and also at the Scottsville Creatures Great and Small Festival. The details are on the "Event and News" page.
Snuffle mats for sale! Don't know what they are? Check out the Sheltie Shop page and your Sheltie will love you for it.
Our winter 2023-24 issue of The Sheltie Spin is out NOW. You can read it as a PDF on our Events and News page along with many copies of our previous newsletters. Read wonderful stories about our Shelties and how to care for yours. If you want to be on our mailing list, let us know.
If you are interested in adopting ... start at our "How to Adopt" page, as it explains our process and expectations. Our adoption application is linked at the bottom of that page.
Who we are ...
Northern Virginia Sheltie Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3), all volunteer organization established in 1999 to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome Shelties and Sheltie look-alikes.. Most of these Shelties have been relinquished to NVSR by owners unable to keep them. Others are found in shelters, because they are strays or have been abandoned. All our Shelties are fostered lovingly in NVSR volunteers' homes (we do not have a shelter), and medical needs are addressed promptly and fully, including spay or neuter. They are then eligible to be adopted to carefully chosen homes, where they will be loved, well cared for and protected. For the remainder of the adopted dogs' lives, NVSR stays in touch with the adoptive families.
Here's a wonderful video that helps to explain our mission.
