Border Collie Rescue enrolls the assistance of well balanced and trained dogs to help us get through to some of the less fortunate Border Collies we take in.
These are all rescue dogs that have found a permanent home (and job) helping within the organisation.
They are just as important to our work as any other volunteer.
This video is to introduce each collie to you and show you where they work, rest and play.
It is dedicated to those that went before and are no longer with us.

The Border Collie is designed to be a sheepdog and was originally used for herding livestock in the English and Scottish Borders. Border Collie Rescue assesses all dogs coming into our care for herding ability and will rehome them as stockdogs if that is what they need to do but we also assess and rehome for scent discrimination skills to the Police, Prison Service and Excise to detect drugs, explosives and firearms -- to SARDA and other rescue organisations for mountain rescue and search and rescue work -- to help deaf, blind or otherwise disabled people as well as for working trials, flyball, agility, obedience and other interactive sporting disciplines and many of our dogs have qualified for Crufts in these disciplines. Those that show us they do not need or want to work are rehomed as PAT dogs, pets and companions.

  • I think Gael blinked one eye at a time! She REALLY doesn't want to miss a thing. Beautiful work you are doing with beautiful dogs. God bless you, each and every one.

  • Gael really is a hard working dedicated dog. Part of her training progress will be seen in a forthcoming documentary being made for Animal Planet about rescue dogs being trained to work.

    Don't yet know when it is scheduled to be aired, but will post when we do.
