Is there ANY Shetland Sheepdogs in Edmonton, AB?
BySo, when I move I want to get a dog, I’ve been working at a Tailz its a Doggy Daycare, Groomers, Dog Training, and we sell animal food. I help with everything and I know how to care for a dog. Yes this is my 1st dog but when I go to work I care for the dogs there all day so its like having lots of dogs lol. Anyway, I want to get a Sheltie. I do know I have to groom them every day and I have no problem with that. I can’t find any adoption shelters with Sheltie’s in it, though! Does anyone know of one? I do not want a breeder dog cause shelter dogs need homes WAY more than breeders.
Thank you

Yes, you should check out sheltie rescue sites such as

Contact Lorna Moon, she is in charge of the Alberta Sheltie rescue site
Or contact Michelle Rogowski, RescueCoord.
(204) 832-5484 she is the coordinator for the national sheltie rescue organization
Any of these prganizations can either place a sheltie in need with you or point you in the right direction to getting one.
You can also contact breeders, not for a pup, but to be put on a list in case anyone needs to rehome a pup.. good breeders have a lifelong take back policy and sometimes end up with dogs back, from previous litters and they need to find new homes for them.
Good Luck! Shelties are a wonderful breed. My first dog was a sheltie, and 15 years later I still have her and she’s as healthy as a horse. She’ll do a 10 k hike with me no problem!
