Nebraska Border Collie Rescue is not a facility open to the public. The rescue dogs are fostered at individuals' homes, therefore appointments must be made in advance and only AFTER the application and approval process have been completed.

Please make sure that any rescuer you are dealing with is reputable. Some "so-called" rescuers are not what they claim to be and will use dogs as breeding stock for their own benefit. Some may even be associated with puppy mills. If making a donation to any organization, you can also request to see their books to make sure they spay/neuter animals and that the donation money is going to help animals in need. Please ask for references and check them out before you relinquish a dog, adopt a dog, or make a donation.
