Dogs needing homes

Before you adopt, please read our guide: What to expect when Adopting a Rescue Border Collie.

Corrie is a beautiful Collie cross, around 2 years old, and a neutered female.

This cute young girl was sadly handed into a dog pound as a stray and was never reclaimed. She has now come into DBARC’s care and is ready to find a loving, permanent home where she can truly thrive.

Corrie is a sweet, intelligent, and fun-loving dog. She has a bright mind and an energetic nature, making her a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle. She would particularly love a home where she can take part in activities such as agility, flyball, or learning lots of fun tricks — anything that keeps both her body and mind engaged. Like most collie types, Corrie will need plenty of mental stimulation as well as physical exercise.

As we do not have any long-term history for Corrie, we would not place her in a home with children under the age of 10. Her behaviour around cats or small animals is unknown. While we do not know if she has lived with other dogs previously, she has been friendly and playful with dogs in the rescue environment. This positive behaviour will need to be continued through careful introductions to calm and well-mannered dogs.

Corrie would greatly benefit from attending training classes. This will not only help her learn new skills but also provide a structured way to socialise with other dogs. She will need an active and enriching lifestyle, along with human company for most of the day.

When a dog moves into a new home, it is a big adjustment. Everything is new — the environment, the people, the routines. Corrie will need time, patience, and understanding to help her settle and feel safe. Her new family will need to guide her, teach her house rules, and support her as she adapts to her new life.

Ongoing training and, if needed, professional behavioural support may be part of her journey. Anyone considering adoption should be fully committed to meeting her needs — not just in the first few weeks, but for her entire lifetime. Corrie will depend on her new family for her happiness, security, and wellbeing.

Please take a moment to honestly consider your lifestyle, activity levels, and long-term commitment before applying.
