Since our beginning, we have depended completely on volunteers. Their dedication has helped rescue and rehome almost 1,500 Shetland Sheepdogs since 1999. Every foster placement, transport run, home visit, adoption event, and educational post happens because someone chose to step in and help.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to support Shelties in need, we’d love to welcome you. Volunteering with NVSR means making a real, direct difference in a Sheltie’s life. Whether you foster, transport, conduct home visits, help at events, raise awareness, or lend your skills occasionally, your time helps ensure each Sheltie finds a home where they are truly cherished.
You don’t have to do everything. Caring enough to help with some part of our work is all it takes. Ready to learn more?
