We cannot save them all - but without you,

we cannot save the ones who really need the help.

Rescuing is about more than just adoptions.

It is also about trying to stop the cycle of unwanted pets.

It is about educating the public

and educating our children to the fact that pet ownership

should be a lifetime commitment.

It is about treating an animal, that is totally dependent on its owner,

with the respect that it deserves.

Our experience has been, by helping these beautiful Border Collies,

we enrich our own lives.

Each dog that comes into our rescue teaches us

something about ourselves.

And when we send them on to their new homes, they heal hearts, provide loving companionship, help lighten the load, and

put a smile on a face.

Please help us help them.

Gus was kicked in the head by a horse and had trauma to his eye. This picture was taken before the injured eye was removed.

We received this note from his Dad:

When you get a chance, could you update Gus's name under the Callie Fund listing of dogs helped. He would never recognize the name now (3 years later!). His name

here is Kelsey and he catches frisbees almost as well as dogs with 2 eyes ... and at night too! Thank you.

There are times when a Border Collie will come into our care and require extensive medical help before we can even begin to think about finding a home for the dog. Our adoption fee of $250 will usually cover the routine veterinary care for a male dog who needs vaccinations and neutering. But a female who needs to be spayed....well, her vet bill typically exceeds the adoption fee. Somehow we have to come up with the funds to meet the vet bills. Never do we want to find ourselves in the position where we are unable to help a Border Collie because we lack the funds. Over the years we had several Border Collies who were in need of some serious help, and all of these dogs exceeded our adoption fee to get them healthy again.

Benny was left unconscious on a wet kennel floor and needed testing done to determine if he had suffered damage to internal organs from being left like that for so long. Benny too is living a happy healthy life back East

Keifer had roundworms, tapeworms and whipworms. He also had a serious infection below the gumline and needed oral surgery twice. One lung was filled with fluid and was not functioning. He also needed vaccinations and neutering.

Poor Little Blue. Blue had an eye injury which was showing signs of glaucoma. Only three

months old, he had to have the eye removed.

Blue's vet bill also included a neuter, antibiotics for coccidia, and medication and rechecks for his troubled eye.

Moss wins the EEBC

(extra expensive Border Collie) award.

He had severe hip dysplasia and had hip surgery three times and three set of x-rays, follow-up visits to recheck the hips, neutering which was be more costly because he is a cryptorchid, and dental surgery for an injured tooth.

Litta arrived with a badly fractured pelvis, a heavy load of heartworms, crystals in her urine, severely dehydrated, hookworms, fluid in her lung and pregnant. (She eventually had 9 pups we had to find homes for.)

Marley came to us at 6 months old, with wiggly hips. The verdict was Hip Dysplasia.

Our Marley's surgery went very well and now he is a year old and a happy boy who lives with a big sister dog and gets lots of love and exercise.
