Border Collie Rescue Dogs for Adoption in and around Birmingham

Paws A While Shelter in Alrewas, Staffordshire, about 18 miles from Birmingham, has listed Border Collies with us. Its home page describes it as a small, self-funded dog rescue. You register interest on its application form, and if you look suitable its behavioural consultant will contact you to talk the dog through before a meet and greet, by appointment; you will only hear back if you are successful. Every adoption begins with a required three week foster to adopt programme, during which the consultant works with you. It asks £350 for a puppy up to six months, £300 for a dog from six months to nine years and £200 for a dog of nine or over, and each dog leaves with five weeks of insurance.

About 21 miles from Birmingham, Border Collie Trust GB keeps every collie it rescues at its centre at Colton, near Rugeley, and takes adopters from across the UK. Fill in its Application To Adopt form before asking to visit; meetings are by appointment once its adoption team has been in touch, and it asks everyone in the household to meet the dog at the centre. The fee is shown on each dog's own page. Its questions and answers ask tenants to bring written permission from their landlord and every adopter to show proof of address, such as a driving licence or utility bill. Since November 2025 it has offered £100 towards neutering when a dog could not be neutered before it left.
