If you found this page, you are interested in adopting
a Border Collie from Rescue. Before beginning, please
take the time to be sure this breed is the right dog
for you.  All
dogs take time and require a purpose or they will use
their boundless energy in destructive ways. We have
found that when this happens they often end up abandoned
to rescue or a local shelter, sometimes to a terrible
fate. The volunteers with Blue Ridge Border Collie Rescue
have established a sturdy adoption process that we hope,
will ensure that the dogs we place have a home where
they will be loved, understood and given the chance
to be the dog that they were bred to be. Our goal is
to help these dogs find their forever home with the
family that they truely belong with.
If you are prepared, owning a dog can be very rewarding.
Please fill out our application.
One of our volunteers from will contact you and schedule
a visit to your home to meet with you and your family.
We do this to help you understand Border Collies and
to ensure that you are prepared to give them a wonderful
home. After determining that you are prepared for a
Border Collie, our volunteer will assist you in locating
the dog that will best fit your situation. An applicant
will only be considered as "approved" when
they have completed the following application, that
application has been reviewed and accepted by our volunteers,
and the Home Visit has been completed and reviewed.
There is a standard donation required of $250 to pay
for medical costs associated with our dogs. This may
vary if a dog has a specific medical situation while
in foster care.
Some of our dogs have special needs requirements from
a home. Our goal is to find the very best home that
we can for each of our dogs. This may not be the first
home to come along.
