About Border Collies in Leeds
The Border Collies listed near Leeds have mostly been with The Freedom Of Spirit Trust For Border Collies at Golcar Farm, Bingley, about 12 miles from Leeds, and Aireworth Dogs in Need at Keighley, about 15 miles from Leeds, has listed them too.
The Freedom Of Spirit Trust has no open kennel, so every visit is by appointment. Its adoption form asks the ages of children who live with or visit you, any holiday already booked and how long a dog would be left alone; after that you may spend a day or two with the dog you choose. Its conditions say it cannot home to people who work full time, and they rule out harnesses and haltis, a dog left alone in the garden or with a dog flap, and letting the dog off the lead or long line in its first two months. It says few of its dogs can go to homes with children, and dogs that need regular help from its team cannot be homed a long way off.
Aireworth Dogs in Need has no kennels; its dogs live in foster homes in and around Keighley. It asks you to be home checked before you apply for a dog: check that it covers your postcode, then send its home check questionnaire with the photos it asks for.

About Border Collies
The Border Collie takes its name from the border regions of England, Scotland and Wales, where it worked sheep in the hills. The Royal Kennel Club calls it a "naturally active and intelligent herding specialist and all-round worker", says it is still seen working sheep and cattle, and says it "needs to be engaged to lead a fulfilled life".

Can I get a free Border Collie to a good home in Leeds, or one under £500?
