Border Collie wanted
« on: March 16, 2013, 12:17:27 pm »
Asking for a friend of a friend.
They have just lost their elderly Border Collie and looking for another bitch any age but would prefer not to take on a puppy as they are getting on a bit in age but still very active
They are experianced BC owners living in a rural area. Must be a house dog rather than a  kenneled working dog
prefer in the north of england

Check with the Breed Society as they often have older dog for rehoming.  We as   club have 2 Brittanys on our website at the moment so I'm sure they will too.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Border Collie Trust GB is another good place :thumbsup:
We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.


Bring the peace back

Some breed specialist rescues:

www.wiccaweys.co.uk
www.valgraysbcrescue.org.uk/

More general rescue - but specialises in collies - www.heathlands.org.uk

Also - if they are on Facebook there is a very good group on there that concentrates on getting 'free to good home' collies off preloved and gumtree - their page is https://www.facebook.com/LilyChubbsCollieRescue?ref=ts&fref=ts

Hope they find a new dog to cheer them up.
