Welcome to Tri-State Sheltie Rescue
MISSION STATEMENT
Tri-State Shetland Sheepdog Rescue is an all volunteer, non-profit rescue organization dedicated to helping Shetland Sheepdogs in need.
Our main goal is to provide every Sheltie in need with a permanent, loving “forever home”.
We care for Shelties that have been abused dogs and neglected and make sure they have the proper veterinary care they need.
We provide safe, loving homes for shelties who find themselves as homeless dogs, abandoned or no longer wanted. This can be in the form of strays or strays in shelter situations or owner surrenders.
We take in Shelties whose families can no longer care for them and must relinquish them due to a variety of reasons such as death or illness, current economy, loss of home or moving (owner relinquishes) or those that simply decide they no longer want their pet.
Every Sheltie in need has a place with Tri-State Sheltie Rescue regardless of their age (puppy to senior dogs) or health status; they are all priceless and deserve a loving home where they will be respected and cherished family members! We also give extra attention to seniors dogs and those who are disabled and special needs requiring extra assistance.
Through temporary foster homes and eventually the carefully screened dog adoption process it is our goal to guide all of our rescues to a new "forever home" and finally achieve a better quality of life for these beautiful, deserving dogs.
Tri-State Shetland Sheepdog Rescue provides services to all areas of Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties), the New York Metropolitan area (NYC, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island and Manhattan), New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and parts of Delaware. We have many volunteers in NY, NJ, CT, PA and if we can get to a Sheltie or Shelties in need in any of these areas or a dog in need of being rehomed can be bought to one of our volunteers, we will assist in any way possible.
Our Rescue organization is completely run by volunteers and is funded solely by your generous donations.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity. All contributions are tax-deductible.

The 2012 New York
On February 16, 2012 we said goodbye to a very special friend.
With a heavy heart we had to say goodbye to our sweet Dolly on February 16, 2012.
We were told we'd have six months with her and were blessed with over three wonderful years.
We love you, Dolly. You will always be in our hearts. Rest easy and run whole again at the Bridge. We'll see you again. Dolly was 15.5 yrs old and an amazing ambassador to the Sheltie breed and what a special needs senior dog is capable of.
We will always love and miss you Dolly and you will be forever in our hearts.
We learned so much from you.
Run whole and free at the Bridge again.
