Finding loving, forever homes for Icelandic Sheepdogs in need

Preserving and Protecting the Legacy of Icelandic Sheepdogs

At the National Icelandic Sheepdog Rescue Alliance, our mission transcends mere canine care; it’s a commitment to preserving a legacy. As a devoted, volunteer-driven 501(c)3 non-profit organization, founded in 2009, we dedicate ourselves to the safeguarding and nurturing of the Icelandic Sheepdog, an ancient and rare jewel of the canine world.

The Icelandic Sheepdog

In lands of frost and Northern light, a friend awaits, a sheer delight,

An Icelandic Sheepdog, brave and true, with coat so bold and eyes like night.
His heart as warm as summer’s glow, in icy realms of snow and gloom,
With loyal step and joyful bark, he turns a house into a home.

His fur, a shield ‘gainst chilling breeze, in dances wild like ocean seas,

A spirit kind, a playful mirth, he brings a calm, a soothing ease.
In every wag and tender gaze, he speaks of love, through all his days,
A faithful friend, a guardian bold, he lights our life in countless ways.

In giving him a home, we find, a treasure rare, a bond refined.
