About

A dog is a huge investment in time and love;
please, make sure you educate yourself and invest wisely.

National English Shepherd Rescue, Ltd. started in the spring of 1997 as an offshoot of the English Shepherd Club's rescue committee's investigation of whether or not any English Shepherds actually needed rescuing. The answer was a definite yes. Thankfully, the breed is obscure enough and most breeders responsible enough that not that many English Shepherds need rescuing. We've rescued about 50 dogs a year since then plus worked with shelters and other rescues to place English Shepherds and ESy dog in their care. We also work with owners and breeders to try to prevent English Shepherds from needing rescue. We would love to put ourselves out of business, but with the breed's increasing popularity that dream seems unlikely.

NESR consists of a small volunteer Board of Directors and a wonderful network of volunteers from the Club and the online email lists. Our rescue mission would not be possible without the help of people all across the country who are willing to visit and evaluate dogs in shelters, provide transportation, and both long and short term foster care. The heart of any rescue is with these unsung heros and we are grateful for their support and dedication.

The Board of Directors is Kathi , President, Melinda, Treasurer Amy, Judy , Rescue Coordinator, .Jan Member at Large
