Friends of Collies and Shelties is an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) rescue group in the greater Jacksonville, FL area. Our mission is to provide foster homes, medical care, transportation, and other available resources for abandoned and unwanted collies and shelties and to endeavor to find the most suitable home that will meet each dog's individual personality and needs.
We do not have a shelter. The collies and shelties in our program all live as family pets in foster homes. Our ability to help collies and shelties is limited by the number and availability of foster homes.
It's not about what I was before, but what I am now.
It's not about where I was, but where I am going.
Please help to make the rest of my years the BEST of my years.
Our rescue dogs all come to us from different situations - some come from shelters, some are found by good samaritans, and others are turned in by their families who can no longer keep them. They all live in foster homes so that we can learn their individual personalities and needs. We do our best to match potential families with the available dogs. The first part of this process is to complete an application. This application is lengthy - but please take the time to complete it. This helps us to better understand you and your family and home to match you with a dog that will best fit in. Please Click Here For Our Online Adoption Application Form
Check our Adoptable Pet List for collies and shelties available for adoption.
All of our rescue dogs are all seen by a veterinarian, spayed or neutered, tested and treated for any parasites including heartworms, given dental care needed, given necessary immunizations. Our requested adoption donation is $300 which helps to defray some of our expenses for caring for the dogs.
Fostering is Fun and Rewarding!!
Give fostering a try...and save the life of a homeless collie or sheltie!
Families and local shelters contact us to take unwanted or stray colliesand shelties. These dogs, who may otherwise be destroyed at an over-crowded shelter, are temporarily placed with a Foster Family until a Forever Family is found. We only ask that the Foster Family provide the collie or sheltie with food, shelter and love. We pay any needed medical expenses.
Saving just one dog won't change the world.
But it surely will change the world for that one dog.
