Nebraska Border Collie Rescue

Nebraska Border Collie Rescue is not a facility open to the public. The rescue dogs are fostered at individuals' homes, therefore appointments must be made in advance and only AFTER the application and approval process have been completed.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Nebraska Border Collie Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to serving the immediate needs of Border Collies and Border Collie mixes in danger of harm or euthanasia, as well as educating the public to reduce the need for rescue in the future.

A Statement from Karen Battreall,

President of Nebraska Border Collie Rescue, Inc.:

"We rescue Border Collies that are surrendered to shelters, picked up as strays, or relinquished

by those who can no longer care for them. Because of space and funding limitations, most shelters euthanize these dogs if they are not adopted within a short time. However, we will take owner surrenders if space is available. We must have CURRENT medical records/ health certificate, which include: rabies, spay/neuter, heartworm check and dhlpp. If these records do not accompany your Border Collie upon surrender, then they will not be able to be taken into our rescue organization."

Identifying a Border Collie

If you are a shelter, all-breed rescue organization, or a good Samaritan that has picked up a stray dog and you are wondering if you've got a Border Collie...click here for a list with photos of different colors, coats, ear types, etc. for the breed. Border Collies were bred for their intelligence and herding abilities...they were not bred to look a certain way, so it can be difficult for some people to tell if they've got a BC or not.

Are you ready for a Border Collie?

Border Collies have become a very popular breed. They are beautiful, loving, intelligent dogs that require a lot of time and training. This is not a breed for the every day dog owner. In fact, Border Collies require more time and commitment than most breeds, and it is for this reason that most often they are relinquished or abandoned. Please do some research before you decide to get a Border Collie. Visit these links for more information, and if you feel that you have the time, commitment and energy to give a Border Collie a lifetime of love and rewards then please visit our dogs that are available for adoption.
