To adopt a dog,
you will need to fill out an application and arrange for a
volunteer to interview you in your home. Please refer to our
Online
Application. All application information will be
verified.
Our evaluation process
stems from our desire that your new family member meet your
expectations as closely as possible. We
place Border Collies only into good, loving homes and we screen
prospective adopters thoroughly.
An adoption fee of
$200.00 is required when you adopt a Border Collie. This fee
helps to cover our
costs which includes all basic and emergency
veterinary expenses.
Basic medical care
provided, all listed dogs are spayed or neutered, fully
vaccinated and heartworm free and on preventive. Due to the
recent increase of incoming dogs with Hip Dysplasia, we have
elected to include a veterinary screening for this with all of
our dogs. All dogs have been microchipped for their
safety should they be lost or stolen.
An executed adoption contract is
required
for all adoptions. This contract is legal and binding.
Please read it carefully.

Level: Companion
Violet is a beautiful Border Collie
mix with a very soft, thick coat. We believe she might be mixed with
Labrador Retriever. She is a sweet girl who is on the shy side, but
who has learned that the world is a safe and fun place.
Violet was a favorite of the staff at
the shelter where she was taken after being picked up. They begged
for her to be saved. At first, she didn’t know how to walk on a
leash and would crawl on her belly when she was in a new situation.
Although she loves to be petted by people, she was scared to go for
a walk in the neighborhood or to take treats from strangers. In
order to help Violet with her shyness, she began taking a medication
to help her become less anxious.
Violet now enjoys going out to new
places and meeting new people, including children. She loves playing
with the other dogs in the foster home, chasing and wrestling with
them. Most of all, she loves being close to her foster mom, cuddling
and being petted. She learned pretty quickly that sitting politely
gets her petted instead of jumping up on people. She sometimes gets
a little jealous if the other dogs seek attention from the foster
mom.
Violet is healthy and is up to date
on all vaccinations and heartworm preventive. She has tested
negative for heartworms. Her hips have been x-rayed and they are in
good shape. She has been spayed. She is crate trained.
Violet will do well with a family
that will show her lots of love and patience. She responds well to
positive training. She could be an only dog or she could be placed
with another dog. She should not be placed with a cat, however, as I
believe she would chase them.
If you think that you could provide
the right home for Violet, please fill out our adoption application
BCRT Adoption Application
or contact
BCRT
for more information. Violet is being fostered in the Dallas area.
