Carolina Border Collie Rescue (CBCR)

10/17/2026

There’s a whole lot of Border Collie happening in this backyard.
Several of these dogs are permanent members of the family. All adopted through or have a connection to CBCR over the years. And mixed into the pack are foster dogs who are just passing through on their way to homes of their own.
This is one of our foster homes on an ordinary day. Dogs coming and going, everyone falling into the routine, and somehow there’s always room for one more who needs a place to land.
We’re pretty sure our volunteer has given up trying to go anywhere alone.

Meet Apollo! Apollo is a handsome 1-year-old Border Collie mix weighing about 46 pounds, and he’s looking for a family of his own! Apollo came into rescue as an owner surrender because his previous family reported that he was digging out of their fenced yard. Since coming into foster care, he has done well in a 5-foot chain-link pen with no attempts to escape. Apollo is a smart, active young dog who enjoys going for walks and learning basic commands. He gets along well with other friendly dogs and recently met two children at the park and did very well. Because he can get excited and likes to jump when greeting people, we think a home with older children would be the best fit. As a Border Collie mix, Apollo would love a family that will keep his mind and body active and continue working with him on training. He has a sweet personality, lots of potential, and so much love to give. Apollo is current on his shots and will be neutered as part of his adoption process. Could you be the forever family he’s been waiting for?
Friends of the Stokes Shelter is a no-kill adoption center. We pull animals from the local shelter that are in danger of being euthanized.
Does the dog have any medical issues? No
Does the dog have any history of aggression such as growling, lunging, snapping, or biting any adult or child? No

Reason for re-homing? Owner surrender due to digging out of the fence

Adoption Success Sunday
"Sadie turned three on September 3 and continues to amaze us with just how smart she is. She often is figuring out what we are doing before we even say a word.
She’s calm with me during the day, but when her favorite guy, John, comes home from work, the excitement (and hilarious vocalizations!) begin. She’s also very serious about her job as neighborhood watch, both at home in Huntersville and during trips to Kure Beach.
For me, she has been so beneficial. I have an autoimmune disease and can have rough days, and she watches and keeps track of me, she is one of the best things we have done for ourselves.
We thank CBCR for all the great things you do for these dogs, it is much appreciated by those of us that benefit from your work.
You may take any information in this email to write what you feel maybe useful." -Saidie's adopters

Meet the Rescuer: Lizzie
"I started volunteering with CBCR in January 2026. I help with evaluations, the monthly foster dog report, and wherever else I can. I also foster. I really enjoy managing the monthly foster dog report because I get to keep up with the dogs coming into rescue and being adopted. But fostering is definitely where my heart is.
I’m a retired nurse, and my husband is a retired dentist. We moved to Asheville from California five years ago, where we were also involved in animal rescue.
Border Collies have a special place in our family. My grandmother grew up on a farm in Scotland, where my mother also lived as a child, and they raised Border Collies. We finally visited Scotland last year, which was magical.
These days, we enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, and exploring the Asheville area. We love history, music, hiking in the mountains and, of course, our dogs are usually right there with us."

Adoption Success Sunday
"Hootie has been living a great life the past 2 years. He loves chasing ball in the yard, playing with his human cousins, and walking with his dog brother, Lincoln. His favorite toy is his indestructible soccer ball. It’s his Border Collie “job” to chase his ball every morning. He has made huge improvements in his leash training (but still has a long way to go). He is incredible loving, loyal, and cuddly. He is getting a human sibling any day now (Kacey is 8 months pregnant) and I’m sure he’ll be very excited."- Hootie's adopters
