Give a friend who likes "shelties" a gift related to the Shetland sheepdog.
The name "sheltie" is a nickname for Shetland sheepdog. This lovable, docile dog resembles a collie dog, but the sheltie is smaller than the collie. The sheltie is known for its long hair that can be sable, black or blue merle mixed with tan or white. They are very loyal dogs. Give a friend who has rescued a sheltie a gift related to this breed and the noble act that brought the dog into a caring environment.
ASSA Membership
For a friend who rescues shelties---or has rescued one in the past---purchase a one-year membership to the American Shetland Sheepdog Association. There are seventy ASSA local clubs across the country, and they work to sponsor sheltie dog shows and to protect these dogs. The ASSA also works with rescue organizations to connect potential pet owners with rescued shelties.

Purchase a sheltie tree ornament that is designed specifically to benefit the rescue of shelties. The American Shetland Sheepdog Association offers a tree ornament made from incolay stone, a medium composed of minerals and bonding materials. This tree ornament features the silhouette of a several shelties. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of these rescue ornaments goes toward the rescue of shelties, according to the American Shetland Sheepdog Association.

You can purchase the gift certificates in increments of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100.
