We rescue every purebred collie in our area needing help, no matter how old or how sick.  All donations to Southwest Collie Rescue are tax-deductible under Sect. 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

SWCR has lost a good friend.

Joni Allen, beloved wife of Ed Allen, left this world on April 12, 2012, in Tucson, AZ.

Joni never let a minute be wasted and it showed in her accomplishments with her dogs. She loved her collies, Pal, Jade, Pitch, Twin, Pearl and Dozer, and gave them every chance to achieve their greatness in herding, conformation, agility and rally, to name a few. 

Joni was particularly proud of her achievements in herding, wanting to see her collies do what they were bred to do. She loved scrapbooking and chronicled the achievements she made with each of her dogs in their own books. Although Joni was always busy with her own dogs, she extended her generosity to other collies. That is where we all got to know Joni and what a big heart she had. 

She was an angel for Southwest Collie Rescue and the many dogs who she fostered for us over the years. She never refused to take one. Even if the collies needed extra care with physical or psychological issues, she cared for them as if they were her own. 

As a lasting tribute, her family asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Southwest Collie Rescue. Ed felt it was what Joni would want. We will miss her very much.

Just Arrived!!!

These collies have just arrived in SWCR. Each will be vetted and fostered until SWCR knows enough about them to write a bio. That process can take a few weeks. Then they will move to the Collies Needing Homes page. So click on the link to see if the collie you last saw on this page is now ready for adoption.

SWCR takes Shelties into our program when no Sheltie Rescue operates in the area where the dog is.  So we advertise Shelties in SWCR when we have them.
 
But SWCR also works closely with the Arizona Shelie Rescue group, and share many of the same volunters.
 
Check out our sister group, Arizona Sheltie Rescue for additional available Shelties.
