Sheltie owners! We need your help to advance Dr. Gookin's crucial Genetics Study to Identify the Underlying Cause of Gallbladder Mucocele Formation.

If your dog meets the criteria below, please reach out immediately! Let's make sure this important research gets the participation it needs!

TSR is beyond grateful for the incredible donors who stepped up to help Blue – your generosity made it possible for him to receive the life-saving gallbladder surgery he desperately needed. You totally ROCK! 👏 💚

Blue is one very lucky boy. His gallbladder had actually ruptured and healed itself, but in the process, it attached to his diaphragm – making his surgery one of the most challenging the surgeon had ever performed. Thanks to your support, Blue came through and is thriving!

We're deeply thankful to Kimberly, who cared for Blue when he first came into rescue, and to Candace, who stepped forward to take him for surgery and provide the loving care he needed through recovery. 💕

And now, Blue's next chapter begins – with his soon-to-be adoptive family.

Stories like Blue's remind us why we do what we do – and how amazing our Sheltie–loving community truly is. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who's been part of his journey. 💞

At TSR we maintain high standards for the care of each of the dogs in our program. Over the past two years we has seen a significant rise in veterinary costs as well as daily necessities. Adoption fees rarely ever fully cover the cost of vetting a dog that passes through our program, which requires us to occasionally adjust adoption fees. Accordingly, our Adoption fees have been adjusted with the new fee schedule being effective immediately.

• Puppies up to age 2 - $500
• Over 2 to 7 - $375
• Over 8 - $300

We could really use your help. Many of the dogs that come in to our care need treatment beyond a routine exam, and your donations for their medical needs are always welcome. You can send your tax-deductible contributions at any time via PayPal on this website or by mail to Triangle Sheltie Rescue, P.O. Box 426, Youngsville, NC 27596.

We currently have 2 shelties available for adoption and 1 that will be ready soon. Our shelties are up to date on shots and spayed or neutered, and looking for great forever homes!
