Southern Ontario Sheltie Rescue Society

Southern Ontario Sheltie Rescue Society rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes Shetland Sheepdogs and Sheltie mixes across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. The organization takes in dogs from shelters, surrenders, and difficult situations, providing medical care, behavioural assessment, and temporary foster housing before matching them with suitable permanent families. Volunteers and foster families play a central role in the rescue's operations, offering dogs safe spaces while they await adoption. The society carefully screens potential adopters to ensure long-term placements and provides ongoing support to families after adoption. Based in Burlington, the rescue has helped hundreds of Shelties find stable, loving homes over many years of operation.
