Introduction
The
main goal of the North
American
Border Terrier Welfare (NABTW)
is to protect and act on
behalf of any homeless Border
Terriers. To attain this
goal, those affiliated with
the NABTW will obtain Border
Terriers that are unwanted,
impounded, neglected, abused
or in other unpleasant situations.
NABTW is responsible for
placing all adoptable dogs
in loving, permanent homes.
The
Border Terrier rescue
provides temporary foster
care, basic health care
and temperament evaluation
prior to placement to
ensure
an optimal match for the
dog as well as the adopter.
Rescue volunteers also
provide training and education
to
the new owners of adopted
rescues to ensure the
success of the placements
whenever
possible.
The
Border Terrier rescue
is committed to working
in cooperation with
local
animal shelters and
other rescue groups to
facilitate
the release of all
Border Terriers that
are impounded.
The welfare of the dog
always foremost and
it is our responsibility
to protect and care
for
all Border Terriers
not just our own or the
ones
we have bred.
Groups
of volunteers are associated
with NABTW, including
the Border Terrier Club
of America (BTCA), Regional
Border Terrier Clubs and
Canadian
Border Terrier Welfare.
There is a network that
has
been developed to
assist rescue
efforts. Rescue coordinators
from Border Terrier
regional clubs facilitate
the rescue
of Border Terriers
and find new homes for
stray,
abandoned,
neglected, abused,
and surrendered Border
Terriers.
The policies
and procedures they
follow to accomplish
this vary
with the local environment
and the resources
available. Some groups
are able
to provide a range
of services,
including foster care.
Others may have more
limited resources
and operate primarily
through referrals
and "home-to-home" placements.
Many will do both.
On
this website you will
find Border Terriers
available
for adoption. We
hope you will consider
adopting one
of these special
little
dogs that are in
desperate need of a loving
home.
Thank
you for your interest
in a Border
Terrier.
