The Mission of The Southeastern Wisconsin Herding Dog Rescue Program is "TO HELP SHELTIES AND SELECTED OTHER HERDING BREEDS IN NEED AND TO EDUCATE  THE PUBLIC ON RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP" First and foremost the SWHDR rescue program is to be concerned with the welfare of the dogs in our program and to treat each dog as an individual case dealt with fairly and with the best interest of the dog in mind.  Secondly, we want the homes that these dogs are adopted into to be the best possible match to the needs of the dog and the adopting home.

Our adopted dogs have acquired many performance titles, junior showmanship wins, Obedience, Agility. Herding, K-9 good citizen titles.  Our dogs have done demos, visits to nursing homes, they've even been on TV.... and lived their lives as beloved pets.

We would like to thank all those who in many ways have helped the SWHDR rescue, even the smallest assistance or donation means a lot to the continued success of this venture.  If you would like to donate to the SWHDR rescue, Please contact  Chris Tresch
