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".

As of 14 November 2026, no Border Collies are listed for adoption in and around Orkney Islands on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.
Are there Border Collie puppies for sale in Orkney Islands?
No. Rescues rehome Border Collies for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. The nearest place with Border Collies listed today is Kendal, about 322 miles away, where each profile shows its rescue's fee.
Can I get a free Border Collie to a good home in Orkney Islands, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Fees are set by each rescue: the profiles on Kendal's Border Collies page show them.
