Overview

Mission

Shetland sheepdog placement.

What it reported doing in 2025

Shetland sheepdog placement services of nj inc (sspsnj) is made up entirely of volunteers, located across the sate of nj. We help shetland sheepdogs and sheltie mixes that have lost their regular home though no fault of their own. We bring them up to date on all needed veterinary care. Dogs are placed in foster care, home environment, evaluated for any temperament issues, housebroken and given basic training to improve their chances of finding a "forever home". If a dog is deemed unadoptable due to age/infirmity, s/he becomes a "forever foster and stays with us until s/he passes away. Some forever fosters have been with the rescue for 2-3 years. We have a large face book following and educate the public on the importance of spay/neutering; the importance of good citizenship training of their dog; the plight of dogs in puppy mills and the importance of educating oneself on the sheltie personality characteristics, finding an ethical breeder or sheltie rescue to bring a new pup or adult dog into your home. In 2025 we took in 31 dogs, ranging in age from 3 months to 15 years old. 20 dogs were adopted. We ended 2024 with 14 dogs in foster care (4 were forever fosters). One forever foster had died of old age at 17 yers and one foster was euthanized for extremely agressive behavior.
