Connecticut has no active Border Collie rescue of its own, so New England Border Collie Rescue covers the state through volunteer foster homes. The same group serves all six New England states, and Connecticut adopters can be matched with dogs fostered anywhere in that network.

How to Adopt a Border Collie in Connecticut
Most Border Collie rescues place dogs through foster homes. Expect an application, a reference check and a home visit before you meet a dog, and an adoption fee that usually covers vaccines, a microchip and spay or neuter surgery. Check each group’s website for current dogs, since good matches go quickly.
Our guide to adopting a Border Collie covers the questions to ask a rescue and what the first weeks at home look like.
