A NJ-based rescue organization with the goal of rehoming Shelties in need. Shetland Sheepdog Placement Services of New Jersey (SSPSNJ) rescues shelties/sheltie mixes from situations that are abusive, endangering or neglectful, or rescues those in danger of being euthanized at area shelters/pounds; assists owners willing to keep their dogs or finds new homes for their dogs as an alternate to placing the pet in a public shelter or animal control facility. SSPSNJ seeks to provide necessary veterinary care while the dogs foster with approved families; places rescued dogs into permanent adoptive homes; promotes the importance of spaying/neutering companion animals, and educates the public on ways to help prevent animal cruelty. We educate about proper care via our newsletter and demos at fundraising events.
