Cash was originally listed as a courtesy listing, but BCIN has taken him into our program. We are currently evaluating Cash, but preliminary reports by his foster are excellent. She reports that Cash is beautiful, but on the thin side. He gets along well with small and older dogs and has a really nice disposition. He bathed up without any grief and trimming his toenails was no problem. He has basic obedience, will sit and (kinda) stay, and pulls on the leash a bit. He is crate-trained, not destructive, and has not had an accident in the house. He likes to play with the ball. His owner reports that "Cash is about 11-months-old and grew up on a 50,000 acre ranch in Northeastern Oregon chasing cows and everything else that moved! He fell as a puppy and dislocated his hip which had to be surgically replaced. He tends to favor his left rear leg every once in a while but has no pain. Cash is the most loving dog I have ever met. He craves attention and loves to be a lap dog. Cash NEEDS room to run! When my husband and I split I brought Cash with me to Orange County, CA and I feel so horrible that he doesn't have the room to run like he used to. I have two kids, 5 and 2, and Cash is great with them. He does tend to get a little over excited when the kids are running around but he has never been aggressive with them. Cash was just recently neutered also. Cash is great off of a leash and is very smart, almost too smart! Cash is a fantastic dog and deserves a place to run and a loving family to call home."
Updates with additional photos to follow as we get to know this boy better. He is being fostered in San Diego County.
Border Collies in Need, Inc. was founded in 2007 by a group of non-paid volunteers who have come together to rescue and foster Border Collies (BCs). Border Collies in Need is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing Border Collies who are abandoned, neglected, or abused, and placing them into permanent, loving homes. Our dogs come to us from a variety of different sources such as City and County Shelters and strays. We also accept dogs from private individuals, or offer assistance to those needing help to re-home their family pets, who for whatever reason must relinquish their Border Collie(s).
Our ultimate purpose is to match homeless or potentially homeless Border Collies with loving permanent families, specifically interested in the breed. We will accomplish this by providing temporary foster care, necessary and reasonable veterinary treatment, temperament evaluations of the dogs, and interviewing suitability of potential adopters, which includes a “home-check.” Each dog is provided with all necessary and reasonable veterinary treatment, vaccinations, sterilization, and micro-chipping.
Border Collies in Need recognizes the need to expand its horizons beyond the basic rescue duties, and network closely with regional Border Collie clubs which includes herding, agility, and flyball activities for sport and competition. Border Collies In Need recognizes that many regional Border Collie clubs do not have funds to support rescue even though they are the ones who are looked upon as the caretakers of the breed.
It is through the mutual admiration and respect of this breed that will encourage awareness to their plight by breed education, by promoting rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption.
You can meet our beautiful border collies either by visiting us at an adoption event or by appointment. Our dogs for adoption can be viewed on our website at: http://www.bordercolliesinneed.org/bordercollie_rescue_and_adoptions/index.html For event announcements, visit: http://www.bordercolliesinneed.org/events.html.
Our Adoption Process...
The dogs in our program are fully tested and evaluated for temperament, sterilized, micro chipped, and all required vaccinations have been administered prior to adoption.
In order to adopt a dog from BCs in Need, Inc., you must first submit an Adoption Application. You will be contacted by one of our volunteers to discuss your application and the BC traits you desire for your companion. Once your application has been approved, you will be eligible to adopt.
To submit your application, you may apply online. The more information that you can give us on your application helps us to determine if the dog is the right match for you. Additionally, we may recommend others for your consideration that would fit into your lifestyle. We strive to mutually match our dogs into forever homes with adopters. You will be notified by email or telephone when your application has been approved.
We schedule adoptions by appointment only or you can visit us at local adoption events which are listed on our Events Page. If you have another dog, you will need to bring it with you to see if they are compatible with one another. We will do a home check, however, pictures of your home, yard, fencing, gates, and where the dog will sleep are encouraged.
If you have any questions please email us at rescue@bordercolliesinneed.org.
