Our Adoptable Dogs

Our Adoptable Dogs

All of our available Border Collies and Border Collie mixes are featured on our Facebook page and Petfinder with photos, videos, and detailed information about each dog’s personality, needs, and background.

Each of our dogs is placed through a selective process – think eHarmony – that ensures each dog is placed with the family that is the best fit. We do not place dogs on a first-come first-served basis. Specific adoption requirements may vary from dog to dog – dependent on a dog’s individual needs.

Please note that any dog may be in the process of being adopted, and we do often have dogs in rescue that are not listed due to recent intakes, medical or behavioral holds.

About Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue

MABCR is a 501(c)(3) organization run primarily by volunteers who have direct knowledge of living and working with Border Collies. Knowing and caring for this breed for more than 30 years has provided MABCR with the skills to take dogs from uncertain futures and place them into caring, responsible homes.

We currently serve the Mid-Atlantic region — including Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and West Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia. We will consider applications outside of our normal coverage area on a case-by-case basis.
