Our Featured Pet...
Who We Are
We are a small, independent rescue group in the Vero Beach, Florida, area. We typically only have one or two rescues in our program at one time. This allows us to focus on the individual needs of the rescue dog so that they can find their perfect forever family. We can also help you to "rehome" your border collie, if needed. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.
Adopting a friend
The adoption fee for pets adopted from Starfish Border Collie Rescue varies from $200 - $300 depending on the needs of the dog.
The adoption process for Starfish Border Collie Rescue is a follows:
First, you will fill out an adoption application, which can be downloaded via the link at the bottom of this page. ALL questions must be completed on the application before it will be reviewed. You may fill out an application before or after finding a dog that you are specifically interested in adopting.
Your application will be reviewed as soon as possible. This process usually takes a few days and sometimes up to a week while references are checked.
If you have shown interest in a specific dog, his or her needs will also be taken into consideration to see if they will fit your lifestyle and home.
You will be notified as soon as the application has been reviewed. Once a completed application is on file and approved, you are welcome to set up a time to meet any dogs that we feel would suit your family and home.
Next, an adoption contract must be filled out and signed in order for the dog to leave for its new home. While adoption applications may be sent through e-mail, contracts must either be sent through the mail or signed in person. If we have approved a dog to be transported to its new home, the adoption contract must be received before the transport can take place.
That's it! If any problems should arise, Starfish Border Collie Rescue is always here to offer advice or aid whenever and wherever possible. Please consider us a lifelong resource for any questions or concerns you may have with your adopted dog.
If at any point in the future you cannot keep the dog you have adopted, you MUST return it to Starfish Border Collie Rescue unless you have discussed an alternative plan with us. This allows us to find another loving home and to keep track of the dogs we have placed.
To apply to adopt one of our dogs, download and complete the application form available on our website at www. starfishbcrescue.com and email it back to us.
