NEBCR, Inc. is a nonprofit, all volunteer organization.
We depend on our volunteers and generous donors to
help as many dogs as possible. Here are some ways
you can help:
You can help us in a number of ways: by volunteering,
by donating to our Rescue Fund,
and by donating an item or items on our Wish
List. We specify some items by brand only because
these are found to work best for us. For example,
Midwest folding crates are easily passed around from
person to person where there is need, can be transported
folded, and work well in both a house or a vehicle,
where they can easily folded out of the way when not
in use.
Most of the items we wish for are small, but you
will also see some really big items here. You may
think "Well, that's unrealistic!" Perhaps it is, but
what good is a wish list if you cannot include everything
you wish for and need? (And if you have an "in"
at the North Pole, please pass our list on to you-know-who.)
And thank you! We appreciate your help.

Roosevelt
Gets Rolling ...and is ready for his forever
home!
UPDATE:
Roosevelt is ready for his forever home! If
you think you might be the perfect home for
Roosevelt, please READ
HIS BIO and learn more about him.
Roosevelt's Story
New England Border Collie Rescue, Inc. is giving
this sweet young Border Collie a second chance
at a happy and pain-free life. His name is Roosevelt.
Roosevelt has congenitally deformed front legs,
which provide him no support for walking.
Luckily, Roosevelt was an excellent candidate
for a front-end cart, manufactured by Eddie's
Wheels.
Every Eddie's Wheels cart is custom built to
fit the weight, frame, and needs of each disabled
dog.
Front-end
cart modeled here by Sparks the Bull Terrier
www.eddieswheels.com
On Feb. 18, Roosevelt got his new cart from
Eddie's Wheels.
Many thanks to an anonymous donor who arranged
for full payment of the cost of the cart!!
See video of Roosevelt
in action on our BLOG.

Although we charge an adoption fee, this is
never enough to cover our expenses. Ordinary
vet costs (vaccinations, spay or neutering,
heartworm test and preventative) often far
exceed the adoption fee. When a dog comes
into rescue that needs special care or surgery,
these costs can sometimes become hundreds
or thousands of dollars. Occasionally, we
run out of room in foster care and need to
board a dog for a few days or longer. This
can add up as well. We need your help to be
able to continue to provide the care needed
for ALL our rescue dogs. Giving a donation
to our organization will go towards helping
to pay for our ordinary expenses, but will
also help us with our extraordinary expenses.
NEBCR, Inc. is an
ALL VOLUNTEER, 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation
and all donations made to NEBCR are tax-deductible.
SUPPORTING AN INDIVIDUAL DOG:
If you prefer to give a donation for a specific
dog, we welcome your generosity as well. All
our dogs need help in one form or another,
even if it is just food and care, but sometimes
people like to put a face on the dog they
are helping. You may sponsor a dog that needs
boarding, help to pay for a dog's special
needs, or just help us feed and care for a
particular dog. Please read the biographies
of our dogs and if you can find it in your
heart to help one of them, please let us know
which dog you wish to support. Your donation
will then be earmarked specifically for that
dog.
