Atlantic Region Central Border Collie Rescue, Inc., (ARCBCR) is a dream come true for a passionate group of Border Collie lovers who had the good fortune of meeting, and befriending each other through past rescue work.
The purpose of ARCBCR is to rescue Border Collies and Border Collie mixes from situations that are neglectful, abusive, and endangering. We take in dogs from shelters, dogs found as strays, and dogs that can no longer be kept by their current families.
We provide the following for each and every one of our dogs: a loving and caring foster home, all necessary veterinarian care, and any rehabilitation a dog might need enabling it to acclimate eventually into their forever, loving home.
ARCBCR is a non-profit 501(c)(3) group, so if you would like to make a donation to help us care for the dogs, your gift is tax deductible.
If you are interested in adopting an ARC Border Collie, please email us for an adoption application. Once you have completed the application, one of our volunteers will contact you to set up a home visit.
If you adopt a dog from ARCBCR, it will come to you spayed or neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested and current on heartworm preventative. Our adoption fee is $225.00. You can be assured that each and every penny goes back into the next dog we take in. The reality is, while you are making arrangements to take home your new family member, one of us is making arrangements to evaluate and rescue the next ARCBCR dog in need.www.arcbcr.org Visit our Web Site
All ARC Border Collies live with foster families until they are ready to be adopted. We do not have a physical shelter. Once you have completed the application process and home evaluation you will be able to visit our dogs in their foster homes which are located in Virginia and Maryland. ARC will work with you to find the best dog for your lifestyle.
