Open any dog's profile to see the shelter or rescue caring for them in Massachusetts, then use the adoption link or contact details to apply directly with that organization. Lily's Second Chance simply gathers senior Border Collies in one place so they're easier to find.
Availability changes often as dogs are adopted and new ones are listed. If you don't see a senior Border Collie in Massachusetts right now, check back soon or browse nearby states — new dogs are added regularly.
