Border Collie Rescue of Northern California 

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 Border Collie Rescue of Northern California or click on Donations.

A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED "TAFFY"!

On January 5, 2012, we received word of an 8 month old Border Collie female who was in very bad shape.  She had an intestinal blockage and needed emergency surgery.  Her owner couldn't pay the $1800 to $2000 estimated bill, so they were going to choose euthanasia.  The animal hospital employees contacted our rescue to see if we could help save this little girl.  We agreed and the owner relinquished "Taffy" to our rescue.  "Taffy" had the surgery and so far, she is doing very well. 

UPDATE:  Taffy is out of the hospital as of 1/10/12.  She is doing very well and happy to be in her foster home.  She still has a way to go, to be back to her normal happy self.  Taffy is a very special girl and she is going to make a wonderful pet for someone when she is ready for adoption.  When "Taffy" has fully recovered, she will be available for adoption.

ANOTHER UPDATE:  18 days after her surgery, "Taffy" is doing extremely well.  She had her staples removed and the doctor is very pleased with her progress.  We really appreciate the outpouring of donations for "Taffy's" vet bills.  She is now scheduled to be spayed on 2/8/12.  When she has recovered, she will be available for adoption.  What we know about her personality so far is that Taffy is good with cats, kids and other dogs.  She loves to play, she loves to fetch. She knows how to sit, stay, leave it, wait, and come. She listens very well.  She is a wonderful dog!!!

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP!
