Border Collies are one of the most intelligent and lovable breeds of dogs. They were bred to help shepherds herd many sheep at once.

Border Collies love to play, and they are a great choice for people who want an active companion. These energetic dogs are always eager to please their owners. They love to go for walks, play ball, play fetching games, and most of all they love to herd.
Their herding instincts are very apparent in the way they play and interact with people and other pets.

Smart, sweet, loyal, loving, athletic, fun and energetic. These qualities make them a wonderful addition to your life. Sadly, these qualities are also the reason many end up in rescue. A Border Collie is NOT a dog that will be content to be a couch potato.
Without enough exercise, both mental and physical, a Border Collie can become a neurotic, destructive mess. In the right home though, once you've owned a Border Collie, you're forever spoiled.

Border Collie Rescue Namibia is a non-profit organisation. We are a group of devoted Border Collie lovers who dedicate their free time to helping Border Collies in need. Everyone in Border Collie Rescue Namibia is a volunteer. Most of us work fulltime jobs and so we ask you to be patient with us returning your calls or acting on your requests.

Our volunteers have many years of experience living with and loving Border Collies. We accept Border Collies and occasionally BC mixes who are in need of rescue and rehoming from owners, shelters, and other organizations in our area. BCRN will not refuse any Border Collie because of age or medical issues and we will not refuse any Border Collie cross. NBCR is dedicated to finding all our rescue dogs appropriate Border Collie homes with adopters who understand and can meet the special requirements of these wonderful dogs.

Our Aims
Border Collie Rescue attempts to address the problem of abandoned Border Collies in the following ways:

By educating the public about the breed;
By finding adoptive homes for abandoned and improperly placed dogs;
By rehabilitating abused Border Collies
By raising funds to cover the costs of sterilization of dogs, advertising, kenneling fees, transport; phone bills and veterinary fees.
Border Collie Rescue also provides an invaluable service to many Border Collie owners who, through no fault of their own, can no longer care for their dog.
