We are a not-for-profit organization run by volunteers. Our dogs come from shelters or owner turn-in situations and they all stay in foster homes. While with us, they are part of the family and as such participate in continual training and socialization. We are their way-station to finding their very special human and we commit to making them as ready as possible. We try our best to understand each Border Collie’s needs and possible issues so that we can honestly share as much as possible with potential adopters. If you meet 20 Border Collies, you meet 20 personalities. They are each unique. What does Look Back mean? Look Back is the command given to the Border Collie by the handler after already gathering sheep, to leave that hard earned flock and go look for more lost sheep. To be willing to leave the flock for more sheep requires deep trust in the handler. Together, teamwork completes the task of bringing all of the sheep to safety. If you adopt from a rescue, you are rescuing the next orphan and you become part of the team.
After your application is reviewed, if you have indicated a specific dog of interest, that foster family will contact you directly to share more information and if the fit seems good, a meeting will be set up. If you have not indicated a specific dog, a coordinator will contact you to discuss the dogs that we recommend based on your application. You will then be contacted by the appropriate foster family. Your entire family, including any existing dogs, will need to meet and everyone gets a vote. We encourage you to review the adoption contract, from the links below, prior to that meeting. Also, it is possible that you will want to go home with your new best friend, so it is important to come prepared.
