Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie Dogs Available for Adoption in Abingdon, Maryland

Little Freya came to us last year along with some of her siblings when she was about 3 months old. She was placed in an experienced sheltie home, unfortunately her puppy antics were too much, she was returned because she was too energetic. Miss Freya is now 13 months old, and still a spitfire. She is a tiny girl at 10 lbs. She's a snuggler and enjoys outings with her foster mom, sometimes in a doggy backpack! She is good with other dogs and would do best with a suitable doggy playmate. She is good with cats. No small kids as she's still in that herding, nipping the back of your heels phase. Freya is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. She is cute as can be, and ready for her forever home. She will be placed in an experienced, age and energy appropriate home. Freya is being fostered in Wilmington, DE. A fenced yard is absolutely required. Our application can be found on our website, www.ncsr-md.org. A home visit and application are required before a meet and greet.
