We thank you so much for a Good Run.
Due to volunteer attrition, Collie Concern Rescue is closing its doors after 18 years. Collie Concern Rescue was founded in 1994, but became a 501(c)3 non-profit rescue in 2003.
Collie Concern Rescue has saved approximately 365 animals since becoming a non-profit dog rescue in 2003.
That's one dog for every day of one year, or about 45 dogs per year.
The dogs thank you for helping them.
Please consider helping another Collie rescue! All of the collie rescues can use your help. Many of them can use help from volunteers in other states.
The following rescues have DIFFERENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES than Collie Concern Rescue, Inc., but would love to help you find your next family member.
