Welcome to MidAmerica Border Collie Rescue
501 (c) 3 organization and tax deductible

Thank you for considering rescue!! Please look around and if you find a border collie or border collie mix that fits your needs, here is how to proceed:

• All adoptions start with the ADOPTION APPLICATION
• Please read carefully about our ADOPTION PROCESS
• The adoption fee is $225. This helps cover the costs of altering, microchips, shelter fees, medications, and other necessary medical care we encounter while rehabilitating our fosters.

Whether you seek a potential agility or flyball champ, a herding or working dog, or just a loving active companion, we would like to work with you to find the right match. Our dogs are our priority and we match them with the family that is going to meet every need...not just some, but all. If your perfect match isn't in rescue right now, please be patient. It may be the next one to get saved!

MidAmerica Border Collie Rescue is not a facility open to the public. The rescue dogs are fostered at individuals' homes, therefore appointments must be made in advance and only AFTER the application and approval process has been completed.

We rescue Border Collies that are surrendered to shelters, picked up as strays, or relinquished by those who can no longer care for them. Because of space and funding limitations, most shelters euthanize these dogs if they are not adopted within a short time. However, we will take owner surrenders if space is available. We must have CURRENT medical records/ health certificate, which include: rabies, spay/neuter, heartworm check and dhpp. If these records do not accompany your Border Collie upon surrender, then they will not be able to be taken into our rescue organization.

We are asking for donations to help cover the extra expenses. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so all donations are tax deductible.   Rhea was on the list to be PTS at a Kentucky shelter probably because she was pregnant. One of our rescuers couldn't stand the idea of that happening to a future Mommie. So, she came into our rescue in late January. And she is a sweetheart!! Rhea had her puppies, 10 wiggly, squiggly cuties, the second week of February. Pictures and video will be available soon. If you can help us with some of the costs of caring for Rhea and her pups visit our Angel Program page and become her special angel!     Charlie was pulled out of a shelter and was originally thought to be blind. Charlie had his check up with the vet and Blind Charlie may not be blind for long! He has severe uveitis, which could have been caused by an injury, we will probably never know for sure. He is coming home with 4 different eye drops and Dr. Blair is confident that he will regain sight in his left eye and may regain some sight in his right eye! He may always need an eye drop, but that is much better then being blind! Please click the donate button above, or visit Charlie's web page to be an angel.
