Adoption Policy

Carolina Border Collie Rescue (CBCR) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was established in 1991 by a group of dedicated volunteers to provide rescue, education, and counseling to prevent mistreatment and neglect of border collies in the Carolinas.

Through the support of many dedicated volunteers and generous supporters, CBCR has become a successful and well-known all-volunteer foster-home-based rescue group. We have over 50 active volunteer members and utilize their talents to place an average of 40-50 dogs annually in new, permanent, and loving homes.

Many of the dogs we rescue were abandoned at a shelter, found as a stray, or relinquished to us by their owners. Currently, CBCR covers NC, SC, VA, parts of GA, and TN. Dogs are fostered in our volunteer foster families’ homes which are mostly located in the Carolinas.

All of CBCR’s dogs receive medical assessments and veterinary care, training, and of course lots of love from their foster families until they are ready to be adopted to their carefully selected home.
