Sad to say, not all Beardies get to live their entire lives in loving homes. As an affiliate club of the Bearded Collie Club of America, we BeardieMainiacs are committed to Beardie Rescue. We don’t get rescues in our region very often, but it’s still our mission to make sure we can help needy Beardies to find new homes.
If you’re interested in adopting a rescued Beardie or would like to ask questions, please feel free to contact Kathy Walsh, BCCA Rescue Regional Coordinator.

Rehomed Beardies: The Beardie Connection
Sometimes Beardies who aren’t rescues need to find new homes, too. They may be retired from a show career, they might have been returned to their breeders from their original homes… but whatever the case, if you’re interested in taking in a rehomed Beardie, contact Julie Sneed of the Beardie Connection. Julie keeps a list of Beardies looking to be rehomed.
