uniquely qualified to improve the lives of mis-placed border collies…
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.
Click either the Facebook or Petfinder button above. Both platforms feature all of our currently available Border Collies with photos and detailed information.
Scroll through the listings to see all of our available dogs. Each dog has multiple photos showing their personality and appearance.
When you see a dog you’re interested in, click on their photo or profile to view the full details, including information about their temperament, energy level, training needs, and ideal home.
If you find a dog that seems like a good match for your home and lifestyle, complete our adoption application. We’ll review your application and contact you to discuss the next steps.
Note: Facebook may require login for some users. If you don’t have a Facebook account or prefer not to use it, Petfinder provides full access without requiring an account.
After viewing our available dogs on Facebook or Petfinder, the next step is to complete our adoption application. Our team will review your application and contact you to discuss which dog might be the best fit for your home.

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.
