Thank you!

We have done it! NEBCR won $5,000 in the Petfinder World's Best Pet Parent contest!!! The money will directly benefit New England border collies in need. Thank you Kimberly for competing for NEBCR, and thank YOU NEBCR supporters for taking the time to vote for us! :)

Can you help us out?

Hi there,

Everyone at NEBCR is busy helping dogs in need so they put me in charge of fundraising. As a former stray and an NEBCR alum, I do have lots of real life experience, so I can handle this. But I need your help. Nope, I am not asking for money. And as tempting it is, I am not asking for frisbees or tennis balls either. All I need is one minute of your time each day. Can you do it? Pleeeease?

You see, NEBCR auntie Kim and her doggie friend Dakota were selected as one of only 47 finalists for a petfinder voting contest. If they get the most number of votes, NEBCR gets $10,000 to cover some of the vet and other bills associated with helping dogs like me. Even if they are not the winners, the NEBCR rescue dogs still have a shot at a $5,000 or $1,000 prizes... can you imagine just how much that is in tennis balls? I am getting dizzy just thinking about it. Anyhow, what I need you to do is go to this link EVERY DAY for the following month and vote for Kim and Dakota http://tinyurl.com/goNEBCR. It's that simple! You will have to register, but all they ask for is a login and password and a date of birth... it only takes a second, and you only have to do it once! So please go ahead and be intense about this as only a border collie would be. Spread the word too!

Please vote and thanks for being a friend of NEBCR! Murphy

Eli's Summer Vacation!

Hi, It's Eli! I'm having a blast swimming, playing and relaxing, but mostly hoping someone will throw a toy for me. Here I am patiently waiting....

In this picture 3 silly puppies are trying to take me for a walk. I like puppies, they really know how to play! However, I did not want to go for a walk, I was still trying to wait for my ball to be thrown.

I like fetching everywhere!

A rare moment of relaxation...I must have been REALLY hot.

I'm still waiting for my forever home to come along, but having a really fun summer!

Check my bio for an update with more pictures and video of me swimming in the lake!

Love,
Eli

Roosevelt update!

osevelt is very comfortable in his wheel now!  He runs right over to the cart and tries to put himself in it as soon as he sees it come out.  He's going on walks now too, and also mastering all sorts of different terrains, hill, and is very talented at maneuvering around various obstacles he encounters.  He's going up on the website as soon as our webmaster has a chance and we will be taking applications on him.  Boy, are we going to miss him! What a great little dog he is.


Here are some videos from this morning, enjoy!!

Happy news!

After 17 months in rescue, I finally have a forever home!!! And not just any home! I got myself the perfect home!!! Yup, that's right... it's all mine, I don't have to share it with anyone! And listen to this! It comes with a personal ball thrower, a personal ear scritcher, a personal walker and I even have my own fully fenced in yard to run in AND a piece of creek to cool down in on a sunny summer day! Life does not get any better!

Here is my new family!

Gotta go, I think there is an adventure waiting, I better catch up!
Love, Chip
