NEWS! June 2008
CONGRATULATIONS Quincy (AND Steve!) for doing SO well at the 2008 CPE Nationals!
In Steve's own words:
You won't believe this, but Quincy and I absolutely ROCKED at the CPE Nationals agility trial in Mason, MI last weekend. Out of about 500 dogs competing, including about 100 from Ohio and 30 or so from his 20" Level C group, we: - Took the "High in Trial" for Border Collies award (not sure how many there were, but a bunch!) - Took the "High in Ohio" award - Took 2nd Place for all 20" dogs in the combined Games (Snooker, Jumpers, etc.) - Took 3rd Place in Jackpot 20" Level C - And had a Perfect Weekend, going 9/9 Qualifying in all runs. We were one of only 4 teams that managed this feat. Not bad for a 5 year old Rescue boy! I'm so proud of him - what a fun time we had. Here we are at home the morning after, hope you can get the picture - thought I had to share our wonderful moment. Steve

Our Featured Pet...
Glory is in LOVE with her Evil Cuz (tm)!! I brought a bunch over the other night and she played and played and played with it. Then fell asleep with it. I think it's hers now! Glory Be is patiently waiting for her forever home. She is very much a devoted-to-her-person kind of dog. She will play with toys on her own if you are busy, or just like to watch dogs play with toys! It's better than a movie. She's a very sweet girl who did a great job with her puppies. She's ready for you!
Who We Are
Buckeye Border Collie Rescue, Inc. is committed to helping Border Collies find appropriate, loving and responsible forever homes. Please do some research on the breed. Border Collies are not for everyone! There is a wealth of information about the breed on rescue sites. They must have a job to do to challenge their minds and release that energy. They need more than "room to run". Border Collies don't take coffee breaks or go on vacation. Due to the overwhelming number of purebred Border Collies that need help, we are sorry to have to limit the type and number of mixes that come in. We do not operate a facility. The BCs are fostered in our homes. When supplying a phone#, please provide a phone# that can be reached in the evening or on weekends. We are not able to return phone calls during the day.Adopting a Border Collie
Most of the Border Collies come from shelters in Ohio and Kentucky. At any time, there may be the Border Collie just for you and it may not be on the site yet. Please read "OUR ADOPTION PROCESS" and submit your application for consideration. We will not ship Border Collies.Our adoption process helps a homeless dog find a forever home while enriching your life with a special new family member!
Our process includes:
1. Filling out our application. Please go to this link:
2. Meeting with a BBCR volunteer in your home.
3. Discussing potential dogs and setting up an adoption visit.
4. Adopting a great Border Collie that is suited for your environment and needs!
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on preventative. They are fostered in the homes of the volunteers where they are evaluated for general health and temperament. Our fee is usually $220 to $250 (may be higher in certain cases).
We are volunteers with full-time jobs and normal responsibilities just like you have. In addition, we have the rescue fosters to tend to, vet visits to make and transports necessary to get BCs from shelters and into foster homes. Please be patient as this process may take several days or a week.
Come Visit Us!
