Thank you so much for your generous financial donation to Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue.As you know, Border Collies in need are lost in the shelter system every day. Your charitable donation will allow us to help more of these wonderful dogs.With the kind support of people like you, we will be able to help many of these dogs not only to meet essential daily needs while in foster, but also to work toward a brighter future with programs in training and education for the humans who love them. If your donation does not have a specific designation, your donation will help to support our dogs by paying our overhead - which means things like electric, gas, internet, bedding, and medicines, in addition to direct care of the dogs which includes things such as food, medicines, flea, tick, and heartworm medication. If your donation does have a designation, it will be utilized as requested, though any cumulative donations over the needed amount will be used for the general fund as needed.For more information on how your donation is helping to make a difference in the lives of the dogs we help, we invite you to visit our Website. You can also find information there on our upcoming events for this year and next here. In addition, we have a facebook page, and a monthly newsletter to keep you updated!
