Wisconsin Border Collie Rescue (WBCR) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and is the effort of a dedicated group of volunteering individuals who love the breed and are concerned about the growing number of unwanted Border Collies within the midwest. Our purpose is to take in the stray and the unwanted Border Collies and find them homes where they are loved and understood. It is our responsibility to give back and to help those Border Collies who would otherwise fall to the wayside. All of the Border Collies in our care are spay/neutered, heartworm tested and current on vaccinations. During the heartworm season they are on heartworm preventative. When possible, the dogs are also microchipped. During the time that they are with us, they are housetrained, and taught their basic manners. When possible, we will crate train and teach the dogs what we can to give them the best chance for a happy life with their new family.
You must complete an adoption application with WBCR before we will consider you for one of our Border Collies (under the “adoption” link). One of our volunteers will check your references, and then another will come to your home to meet you & your family in person before the board will vote on your application. If you are approved, we will arrange a time for you to meet the dog(s) you are interested in. If you decide he/she is perfect for you and the board agrees, we will schedule a day for you to pick up your Border Collie, sign adoption paperwork, and pay the $350 minimum adoption donation. This whole process may take a month or more, as all WBCR members are volunteers and we’re committed to making a perfect match for our border collies. Thanks for your patience! PLEASE NOTE: We may have several potential adopters interested in the same dog. We do not hold dogs for anyone. It is possible that an approved adopter may adopt the dog you want before you’re completely through the process. However, once you’re approved, you’re approved for 1 year, and it’s possible that a dog in the near future could be the match for you. We work for the dogs, so as soon as there’s a good, approved match, we will adopt out the dog. Thank you for understanding. Incomplete applications will be returned to you. Before we process your application, we require a non-refundable $15.00 application processing fee be paid via PayPal.
