Atlantic Region Central Border Collie Rescue, Inc. (ARCBCR) is a nonprofit Border Collie rescue organization with headquarters in Richmond, Virginia and Central Maryland. We work with Border Collies and Border Collie mixes.

We take in dogs mostly from Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. These dogs come to us for various reasons. Some are neglected, some abandoned, others unwanted. We work closely with various state and local shelters, pulling dogs that are at risk of euthanasia. Other rescue organizations contact us, and we help them with placements.

All of our dogs wear ARCBCR tags attached to their collars while in foster care, and they are all microchipped. We highly advise you to keep the tag attached to your dog’s collar once he or she is adopted or replace it with one of your own.

We have a dedicated volunteer network. Our volunteers provide transportation in a multi-state area, and provide foster homes for some of our dogs. We also visit and assist in evaluating the homes of applicants.

We make every decision with the following thought in mind; It’s Always All About The Dogs.
