Ken, rescues unfortunately have that fence requirement but maybe there are exceptions depending on the individual circumstance. Heart's Promise Sheltie Rescue, Inc. Facebook page is more current and complete compared to their website. They do have dogs coming in now. You also might try on Facebook a group Shetland Sheepdog Connection. Another option is getting an older pup or adult from an ASSA reputable breeder. Sometimes they have available retired show dogs and pups that they are growing out for show that don't make the cut as show dogs. https://www.americanshetlandsheepdogassociation.org/breeder-locator/
You are right there are not many shelties available from shelters. There are sheltie rescues that have adult and pups available. In Pennsylvania if you are looking for a sheltie there is Heart's Promise Sheltie Rescue http://www.pasheltierescue.org/. This is a very good rescue.
