BORDER COLLIE RESCUE AND REHAB CENTRE

Registered charity 1200171 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register

We rescue and rehabilitate Border Collies. Most of the dogs that come into us have psychological/behavioural issues. This is usually due to being in the wrong homes with the wrong owners to suit their needs. Once the dog has settled in, we then start the rehabilitation process ready for the dog to find its forever home.
