We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to the welfare of the Border Collie. We are active in rescue from shelters and we assist owners who wish to place their dogs. We depend on donations, adoption fees and profits from the sale of merchandise to take care of the dogs in foster care. Medical bills run very high and donations are always welcome. If you would care to make a donation, or need more information, please contact tld4now@aol.com or click on Donations.

FEATURED RESCUE DOG OF THE MONTH
We are starting this month with a new feature. Each month a special rescue dog will be on our front page. Sometimes, we will show a recently rescued dog, one who is just about ready for adoption. Other times, we will show a dog who needs medical attention or specialized surgery before they are ready for adoption. **We had planned on one special dog per month but wouldn't you know it, we ended up with 3 dogs with special medical needs this month!!!** *************************** LOGAN is a 4-year-old gorgeous boy with blue eyes & a lovely full coat. Logan was picked up stray & never reclaimed in the shelter. The shelter staff discovered some lameness in one of his legs & ordered x-rays. It turns out that Logan has an old injury in his hip that was never fixed. He has been getting around with what amounts to a dislocated hip for some time now, a condition that is quite painful to him & is treatable with a surgical procedure called an FHO. After surgery & four weeks of crate rest, Logan will be able to enjoy a pain-free life as someone's beloved companion. Logan is a delightful dog with good manners. We need help in paying for the surgery. He has a foster home that will take care of his recovery until he is ready to be adopted. *************************** "MUSTANG SALLY"
MUSTANG SALLY is a sweet 6-year-old girl, who is well-mannered, trained, & deserving of much more than she has had to this point in her life. She came into rescue without having been spayed--& we learned that during her spay surgery, the vet found the onset of pyometria, an infection that can be fatal if left untreated. Further, she obviously wasn't kept on heartworm preventative because Sally has tested positive for heartworm & requires treatment. She is a wonderfully people-oriented dog & gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home. But sadly, for a month she will have to be on 24/7 crate rest to recover from the heartworm. She is expected to make a full recovery, as she had a light positive on the test, & she is doing great in every other way. The treatment will put a burden on our rescue funds, so we will be grateful--as will Sally--for any help you can give. *************************** The third dog needing help is "Kimber" featured in the column on the right. |

THANK YOU TO A YOUNG LOCAL GIRL!!!!
9 year old Kimber collected dog food for her birthday, instead of presents for herself, and donated them to Border Collie Rescue of Northern California. Kimber and her family have a Border Collie mix of their own. Kimber presented her food donation on 4/28/2012 and she got to meet some of our foster providers and rescue dogs. Thank you Kimber for your wonderful donation. You have helped a lot of dogs with your kindness!!! We've even named one of our new rescue dogs "Kimber", in your honor! *************************** Here is "KIMBER" the dog.
KIMBER is a beautiful, slight-of-build 1-year-old girl with the dearest temperament. She was picked up stray & was obviously not cared for well, as she has been diagnosed with heartworm (4/30/12) & has not been spayed. Kimber is a gentle dog, who is very attentive & loving. She loves to play & gets along with everyone she meets, human & canine. Sadly for her, she will have to be on 24/7 crate rest for a month while she undergoes heartworm treatment. She is expected to make a 100% recovery, as she showed a light positive on the test & she is otherwise very healthy. She has a foster home that will take care of her during her recovery, but her treatment will stretch our resources, & we could use any help you can give. *************************** We hope you will enjoy seeing the new dogs in our rescue program. If you would like to assist us with our efforts for these dogs by sponsoring or donating to their medical issues, we would greatly appreciate that.

SUPPORT OUR RESCUE ON 
We are excited to now have items for sale, on ebay. 100% of the sales from these items, goes to help the dogs in our rescue! This is how it works: items are donated to rescue, then through a special program with ebay and Missionfish, we auction the items and all the money received goes to rescue. We've just started this venture so we have a limited amount of items available. There are some nice collectibles and books and lots of other fun stuff, and we are adding new items everyday. In addition to items posted by our rescue, there are also items from other sellers who are donating a portion of their profits to our dogs. If you'd like to check this out, please click on
