NEWS! WHAT NEWS!!
(Rescued brothers – Brody and River)
DID YOU HEAR????
JINGLE ADOPTED!
A foster home was needed for a 5 month old Mahogany Sable named Jingle. We reached out to our members, Sue & Sue, to see if they would be interested in helping us. They said, “Sure!” We connected them with our transport volunteers, and it all fell into place.
Their Biblue Sheltie, Logan, was excited to have a new friend. They said it was amazing, because Logan usually likes to be the only Sheltie. They absolutely loved Jingle, and said they’d like to adopt her. They couldn’t be happier and we are, too!
Thank you Sue & Sue for taking Jingle under your wings and giving her the best forever home sweet home!

SASHA and ELSA AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
Sasha and Elsa are both available adoption. Sasha is an sweet natured elder dog who is a true joy to be with, and fun lovin’ Elsa, one of several young Shelties that recently came our way, is also available. Please read about their availability HERE.
ADDIE ADOPTED!
Addie, a sweet, 7 month old sable, came to Maine Sheltie Rescue as her former owner needed our help. Addie was shy at first, needing time to settle into her foster home. She needed to be brought up to date on her vaccines, and to be spayed before she would be ready for adoption. With time, Addie’s foster family and their Shelties helped bring her out of her shell by playing with her and loving her. She really blossomed!
Kim & Brett adopted Brody, their oversized bi/black in the Spring of 2023. Ever since then, they stayed in touch with Brody’s foster family by sending updates and fun photos. In return, they sent updates of their latest fosters with their stories. When Addie’s foster Mom shared Addie’s photo, Kim and Brett could not stop thinking of her and how she’d make a wonderful addition to their Sheltie family.
Once Addie recovered from her spay, Addie’s foster family brought her to Kim & Brett’s home. All of their Shelties welcomed her right in to their home. Addie has a new sister Onyx, and two brothers, Brody & Reggie.
We couldn’t be happier for Addie and her new family on how this all fell into place!
OCHO ADOPTED!
Ocho, came into Maine Sheltie Rescue December 15 from a home where they could no longer care for him. A sweet, playful boy, he was quickly vetted and neutered. Handsome Ocho’s leg-up is his smarts and understanding of body language. Ocho received a lot of adoption interests, but because Ocho is a male dominant dog, we needed to find just the right home for him.
With Ocho in rescue for most of a month, MSR received an application from Mary, who had previously owned four other shelties. She and her husband, Don, and Chris, her son who had been a dog handler, were very excited to meet Ocho. With a nice fenced yard and previous Sheltie experience, they were the perfect family for Ocho.
We are very happy for Mary and her family, but we are most excited for Ocho to find a family that will dote on him and give him the happiest life!

ARIA ADOPTED!
Once Aria’s story was posted, almost immediately one of our MSR members fell in love with her. After meeting through FaceTime several times. They knew she was meant to be part of their family. The only problem was that they lived on an island in New Brunswick, Canada.
The trip is about 8 hours to the foster home, and with scheduling issues with the foster family and the adopting family, along with the unpredictable weather on the island it was difficult to coordinate. Since this past weekend’s forecast was a dry one, a quick decision was made to make the trip right away!
Wendy, Ron and Taz made the trip to New England to make it official returning home in a little over 72 hours. Now that’s some sheltie love.
Thank you Wendy, Ron and Taz for welcoming Aria to your family!
