Rocky Mountain Collie and Sheltie Rescue, Inc., originally Pueblo Collie/Sheltie Rescue, is a tax-exempt, 501(c)3 non-profit, volunteer-operated organization founded in 1979. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and place lost, abused and abandoned Collies, Collie-mixes, Shelties and Sheltie-mixes in loving, responsible homes. All our dogs live in foster homes. They remain in foster care and receive complete veterinary care until they are ready for adoption and have been matched to carefully screened and approved adopters. We do not adopt out dogs at public events.

If you know of a Collie or Sheltie in need, or if you have lost yours, please contact us. We help dogs not only in Colorado but throughout the Rocky Mountain Region. If you need to relinquish your Collie or Sheltie, please contact us, too. We want to help.

To meet our rescue dogs, the first step is to read Policies & Guidelines and then fill out the application. The application process also includes a vet reference, a phone conversation with our director and possibly the dog’s foster family, and a home check by a RMCSR volunteer.
Thank you for visiting our website and caring about our rescue Collies and Shelties.
