Adopting a Border Collie usually involves completing an application form, meeting the dog in person, and agreeing to any checks or requirements set by the current owner or rescue organisation. This helps ensure the Border Collie is matched with the right home.
Before adopting a Border Collie, consider the breed's exercise needs, grooming requirements, and temperament. Understanding the typical traits of a Border Collie can help you decide if it's the right fit for your lifestyle.
Browse the listings on this page to see Border Collie dogs currently available for adoption. You can filter by location to find Border Collies closer to you, making it easier to arrange a visit and meet the dog in person.
Many rescues and private owners charge an adoption fee. This fee often covers vaccinations, microchipping, and sometimes neutering, helping to ensure the dog is healthy and ready for a new home.
