We are a small group of Border Collie lovers who have a desire to help those in need. We don't have a shelter and foster our dogs in homes. We are a very new group and in need of volunteers, especially foster homes. If you would like to help out contact us at MnBCRescue@aol.com.
Border Collies are very intelligent and active dogs. They were originally bred to herd sheep and many still are bred for that purpose. Most Border Collies need mental stimulation as well as physical activity to be happy dogs. Since most of us don't have sheep, ducks or geese, we find other activities for our dogs such as obedience, flyball, agility, tracking, and learning tricks. As in most breeds there is a wide range of personalities. Some dogs may need a job while others may only need to play fetch for 30 minutes each day (these will usually be the older dogs). If you see a dog that you are interested in adopting contact us for an application. After your application has been received and reviewed we will arrange for a home visit. Our Border Collies are not placed on a first come, first served basis. Instead, we do our very best to match the dog's personality with a family. While you are waiting for the adoption application to be completed, we encourage you to spend time learning as much as possible about Border Collies. We recommend purchasing the book called Second Hand Dog by Carol Lea Benjamin as a starting point. Patricia McConnell has a very nice booklet called Leader of the Pack which is a quick read but full of excellent advice. There is a two-week trial period where your donation is refundable and the dog must come back to us, should you discover this Border Collie is not the dog for you. After the two-week trial period, should you discover that the Border Collie is not the dog for you, the dog still must come back to us, but we are sorry to say, that your adoption donation is no longer refunded. We will have used that donation toward the care of the next Border Collie. We hope that you will understand.
