Sponsor dogs are indeed special dogs in the work carried out by the Trust. These dogs will, for many reasons, be with the Trust for the rest of their lives, We make every effort to make their lives as happy and fullfilling as possible whether they remain at the Trusts kennels or looked after in special foster homes (we are extremely grateful to the time and effort our foster carers devote to these dogs). The Trust meets all medical bills and any other expenses such as special dietary needs for all sponsor dogs. Of course as these dogs get older (many are indeed in that category when they first come to us) their Vets fees increase and the funds raised from those who sponsor dogs are an extremely valuable source of income to the Trust.
To sponsor a dog you agree to donate £5 per month or £60 a year for a particular dog of you choice. In return you will receive a photo, twice yearly newsletter with an update on "your" dog and our quarterly magazine Border Collie World
A very big thank you to all who sponsor one of the dogs
Meet the Sponsor Dogs
JACK - This chap is part collie, part huntaway. He is being fostered by very understanding people who work hard to overcome his lack of socialising as a puppy.
Hobbies - getting up to mischief and barking
JESS - Came to us in 2005 aged about 7 years. Due to a few issues with handling and other dogs Jess has always been overlooked by potential new owners but has mellowed over time. In 2009 Jess was fortunate enough to find a foster home and is enjoying his home comforts at last
Hobbies - Seeing how far you can walk carrying a bone
PEPPER - Our first female Sponsor dog. Pepper has spent 4 of her 10 years in kennels but loves people and is being fostered by Bev one of the Trustees.
Hobbies - enjoying coming to work and keeping other dogs in the office under control
NELL - Originally homed by us some years ago, a change in circumstances and an apparent dislike of a home environment meant Nell needed our long term care
