We are a not-for-profit organization run by volunteers. We specialize in placing orphaned Border Collies matching the right dog to the right home. Our dogs come from shelters or owner turn-in situations and stay in foster homes. We are their way-station to finding their very special human.
We try our best to provide accurate temperament testing for successful placement, because if you meet 20 Border Collies, you meet 20 personalities. They are each unique. We try our best to understand each Border Collie’s needs and possible issues so that we can honestly share as much as possible with potential adopters.
What does Look Back mean? Look Back is the command given to the Border Collie by the handler after already gathering sheep, to leave the hard earned flock and go look for more lost sheep. To be willing to leave the flock for more sheep requires deep trust in the handler. Together, the teamwork completes the task of bringing all of the sheep to safety.
If you adopt from a rescue, you are rescuing the next orphan and you become part of the team. We appreciate you considering Look Back Border Collie Rescue.

Additional adoption info
We have an on-line application on our website www.LookBackRescue.org in which the potential adopter shares information about their family, experience with dogs, and what they want in their next best friend. The foster family will contact the applicant to answer questions and set up a chance for them to meet the dog. Fees and blank adoption contract will be sent to the adopter prior to meeting.
