The Border Collie Rescue Society is a canine breed rescue organisation set up as a non-profit rescue charity to work for the welfare of Border Collies and the Working Sheepdog, based in the UK. All our assets are held in trust and we are all unpaid volunteers. Part of our work involves assessing all dogs around sheep and other livestock to ascertain their working ability in order to be able to consider these factors before re-homing. We believe a Border Collie puppy should always have a chance to work and fulfil its natural instincts. The links on this page provide information about our Objects, about border collie rescue, how we work and how to adopt a dog from us. We stand against puppy farming, animal testing, animal abuse, cruelty and neglect and we support all aspects of animal welfare. |

| In Border Collie Rescue, we care for between 30 and 50 Border Collies in foster homes and at our assessment and re-habilitation centre at any given time. When we re-home a dog we always seem to have over 100 others waiting to take it's space. | |||
| Every week we get more than 160+ requests from pet owners asking us to re-home their Border Collie. That's 8000+ each year! | |||
| The majority of these are from people who have taken a Border Collie puppy from a farm and cannot cope with its natural developing instinctive behaviour - this is why so many Border Collies end up in dog rescue organisations around the world - they need to work. | |||
| A high proportion of these Border Collies have shown aggression towards a young child in the family and the parents are concerned about the welfare of their children, as well as the welfare of their dog. | |||
| Every week we take more than 40 requests for advice about behavioural problems from people who want to keep their pet Border Collie. | |||
| The majority of these are problems caused by boredom and frustration due to the unfulfilled herding instincts of the Border Collie. | |||
| Only about 20% of the people who apply to us to adopt a Border Collie have suitable homes to accommodate and care for a dog of this breed. | |||
