Wisconsin Border Collie Rescue's adoption process
Additional adoption info
$250 minimum adoption fee. Our process takes about a month.
All potential adopters must fill out our online form at
http://wibordercollierescue.org/?page_id=201
Then if we approve of the application, we will check your references, then after those are approved, we will do a home visit, and if that is approved, THEN you would drive to the foster home to meet the dog. The dog is not adopted out this same day, because the board must approve the match. If approved, you would drive out to the foster home to fill out the contract and take your new dog to his/her forever home.

About Wisconsin Border Collie Rescue
We are a group of volunteers dedicating part of our lives to helping this misunderstood breed find the perfect home. Many people do not research breeds, and then they cannot keep up with the dog, or the dog gets destructive out of boredom. We always say, "When you get a Border Collie, your lifestyle is changed." This breed is incredibly smart and can easily trick people into getting what the dog wants. We educate people about this throughout the adoption process. We're quite picky, especially if you've never had a Border Collie before. This breed needs a job, not just physical exercise. Jobs can be anything from performing lots of tricks, having the dog retrieve toys by name, herding, agility, flyball, tracking/search and rescue, dock diving, competitive disc, treibball, scent work, rally, etc. Only our own members can foster dogs, so the foster homes know our process and rules well.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
