In order to be considered for an adoption you MUST:

 

  • Be 21 years of age or older
  • Have a valid source of identification which verifies your current address
  • Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in your household PRIOR to adopting the pet you are interested in
  • If you are currently renting you must supply your landlord’s name, telephone number, and proof of pet ownership approval from your landlord
  • Contact your vet and let them know we will be calling. Without your consent, your vet may not release information to us.
  • If you provide an e-mail address as a method of contact, you must be able to check your e-mail frequently so we can maintain prompt communication.

 

North Star Border Collie Rescue is a privately run organization who fosters their dogs in private residences. Visitation is by invitation  TO APPROVED ADOPTERS ONLY!

All dogs are available for adoption to APPROVED ADOPTERS ONLY. We can not hold dogs for anyone, regardless of the pet you are applying for, nor do we have the resources to keep every potential adopter informed as to whether or not the dog(s) they are applying for have been adopted. We are solely run by volunteers who donate their time to help screen applicants and who are familiar with the dogs available for adoption. It is the duty of every applicant to be open to the adoption process and to accept that every dog may potentially be adopted by another approved family prior to your visit. No adopter is guaranteed that the specific dog they are applying for will be available at the time of adoption. When a potential adopter is granted approval to adopt, it does not mean they will necessarily receive the specific dog they are applying for, only that they are approved to adopt a dog that fits within their family, should one be available. Each dog being adopted must fit within the criteria required for them to be a match in the home they are going to.

Please understand that we want the dogs and puppies in our care to go to the best of homes. It is our duty, to the best of our ability, to make sure that each dog goes to its forever home, which means the dog and the family must compliment each other. We reserve the right to deny adoption of any particular dog if we feel that the pet is not suited for your family. We may suggest another dog that we feel would be better suited to your situation. You are under no obligation to adopt the dog of our choosing, but we will make suggestions and denials that are in the best interest of both the adopter and the dog/puppy in question. We hope you understand that we love these pups/dogs and want only the right placement for them. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
