Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue - Welcome!
Welcome to Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue (MABCR), formerly known as Kent County Border Collie Rescue (KCBCR). We are a not-for-profit organization that is run by volunteers. We currently serve the following states; Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Virginia and West Virgina plus the District of Columbia. Fundamentally, Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue is a haven for Border Collies and dogs of the Herding group that have been discarded, neglected, abandoned or stray. Many of these dogs are turned into animal shelters because their previous owners discovered they were not border collie material or because changes in their lives left them unable to care properly for their dogs.
Knowing and respecting the breed allows Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue to rescue these dogs from an uncertain future and place them into responsible homes. Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue knows each of their dogs intimately and what each requires to be placed in a new home. Dogs that arrive neglected or with 'issues' receive special care and training to allow them the chance to rehabilitate. Assessment of each dog can determine if they should be placed as a pet only or an actual working dog home, involved in herding, goose removal, agility or obedience.
Our Goals
- To rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome Border Collies in need.
- To educate & prevent future overbreeding and poor quality breeding of Border Collies.
- To provide information and support to people who wish to acquire a Border Collie as a companion.
The individuals who comprise Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue are current or former breeders, exhibitors or aficionados with years of experience and who deeply understand the needs of the Border Collie breed.
Being able to help a dog that has been overlooked, misunderstood or who's life was in jeopardy is our primary goal. Placing these dogs in an environment where they are understood and watching them blossom is our greatest reward.
Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue is located in Kent County on the Upper Eastern Shore of Maryland, convenient to Delaware, Pennsylvania and Virginia
All dogs taken into Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue are assessed for temperment, abilities, and needs. They are crate trained, have all shots, and must be spayed or neutered. An application must be completed and approved in order to adopt.
