My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bear is a 1 year old (DOB 2/7/2023) Heeler/Border Collie/Catahoula mix neutered, UTD on shots, heartworm negative and on prevention, microchipped, kennel trained, and potty trained. He weighs about 45 pounds. He gets along with all of the dogs at our house, not tested with smaller dogs or cats. Has a high prey drive with the squirrels and rabbits outside. He is shy and cautious at first but warms up quickly. Highly motivated to learn and very ball driven. He also likes to cuddle up next to you on the couch. He is energetic, so I wouldn't recommend small children. He would make a great family dog.

Owner has been taking care Bear and three of his siblings since July. Trying to help a neighbor keep his unexpected litter out of the shelter. Willing to travel for the right home.

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting a ARC Border Collie, please visit our website to complete an adoption application. Once you have completed the application, one of our volunteers will contact you to set up a home visit.

If you adopt a dog from ARCBCR, it will come to you spayed or neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested and current on heartworm preventative. Our Adoption Fee starts at $200 for sweet seniors, $300 for adults & $400 for puppies ($100 reimbursement once spayed/neutered). You can be assured that each and every penny goes back into the next dog we take in. The reality is, while you are making arrangements to take home your new family member, one of us is making arrangements to evaluate and rescue the next ARCBCR dog in need.

All ARC Border Collies live with foster families until they are ready to be adopted. We do not have a physical shelter. Once you have completed the application process and home evaluation you will be able to visit our dogs in their foster homes which are located in Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland. ARC will work with you to find the best dog for your lifestyle.

More about this rescue

Atlantic Region Central Border Collie Rescue, Inc., (ARCBCR) is a dream come true for a passionate group of Border Collie lovers who had the good fortune of meeting, and befriending each other through past rescue work.

The purpose of ARCBCR is to rescue Border Collies and Border Collie mixes from situations that are neglectful, abusive, and endangering. We take in dogs from shelters, dogs found as strays, and dogs that can no longer be kept by their current families.

We provide the following for each and every one of our dogs: a loving and caring foster home, all necessary veterinarian care, including spay or neuter, and any rehabilitation a dog might need enabling it to acclimate into their forever, loving home.

ARCBCR is a small all volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) group, so if you would like to make a donation to help us care for the dogs, your gift is tax deductible.
