The Border Collie Spot

Genuine, experienced and very caring rescue, who home border collies of all ages which have come in from mostly farm backgrounds.Very careful attention is given to placing dogs in the most appropriate homes for them.I have happily adopted 3 lovely collies from here.

I have had three dogs in total from The Spot. Each one has been taylored to the dog needs and our ability to meet those needs. The dogs that Gill has matched us with have been first class companions, friends and family members. I recommend The Spot to any responsible person who is looking for a collie. We look forward to be in a position to adopt again from this first class charity.

The Border Collie Spot is a wonderful place. Border collies from around the country are saved and found loving homes. I have worked for an animal charity for over 20 years and highly recommend the Border Collie Spot.

Adam Mackowski, this is Pure Sour Grapes, because you were not considered for this Dog, and it was subsequently homed to someone else. You have never met Gill, you have never been to The Border Collie Spot, and the only connection you have had with this Rescue is via its Public Facebook Page, which you are not a member of, and only a visiting member of the public. Gill is very meticulous in her homing procedures, and her adoption fees are a lot less than other Rescues. So everything you have written is absolute garbage, and on that basis we will be contacting Google Reviews to get your review removed forthwith.UPDATEAdam regarding your update, you are slightly misinformed yet again, for one Rescues do not have to be a Registered Charity with the Charities Commission, its a matter of choice for each individual rescue,. secondly Gill is not a Breeder, so has no need to hold a Breeders Licence. But she is a Registered Rescue, so perhaps a bit more homework is needed on your part, before you throw out your acqusations. Gill i strongly advise you to contact the Barrister, and get her to contact Adam Mackowski officially.

Gill is an amazing lady dedicated to saving and giving good homes to very vunerable border collies, gill gave us an amazing boy after the sad loss of our first rescue, she makes sure these dogs are suited to the people and makes sure they go to people who will care for them. Highly reccomend.

The owner of this Border Collie Rescue Centre is a lady of the highest integrity and does an amazing job of rescuing Collies from a variety of sources, unwanted or mal-treated farm dogs, breaking -up families, etc . She takes the dogs in and restores them to good mental and physical health. She then re-homes them under a strict and thorough vetting process as to the compatibility of the dog and the prospective owner.She works almost 24/7 and its a 365 day a year dedication. A most wonderful lady who has a few dedicated helpers . I was very fortunate in getting my present Border Collie from her when he was a 3 year old dog. He has been all I could ever want and I will be eternally grateful to Gill for helping me find another wonderful furry pal to share my life with. Adam Mackowski must be somewhat deranged if he cannot see what a wonderful and selfless organisation the Border Collie Spot is.

All 4 of our dogs are from the spot rescue couldn't have asked for any better great loving companions

Disgusting place in Binfield reported to the RSPCA and to Trading Standards. This place is unregistered that transfers to sell on unwell and neglected Border Collies within a week of receiving them to anyone that wants a Border Collie for more than what the RSPCA and actual proper rescues charge for rehoming dogs. That's not in any Border Collies best interests at all.Review updated: A responsible Border Collie breeder or rescue will be registered this place has been confirmed by the RSPCA as unregistered as a rescue and unregistered as a charity. Only would a irresponsible rescue put young untrained Border Collies with elderly where the chances are that of the dog will out live them and also not be given proper excerise and mental stimulation that all Border Collies require. That is half the problem why dogs suffer.

My rescue boy, from the Border Collie Spot (2019) has quite simply healed the pain following the death of my beloved collie, Jewel, in 2016.In four years membership of a collie lovers Facebook Group I had seen written only good things about the care provided by Gill to her charges. I suspect there may have been prior communication between one or two of the Admins. of that group and Gill, because to say that he is a perfect ‘match’ for me is an understatement.I look at him every day and marvel at how they can learn to forgive humankind.He had been abused in different ways, by two previous owners.I know that Gill works very hard and long hours and that it is all about the dogs in her esteemed care.And that she will never give up on any of them.She receives a lot of interest from potential new owners and prefers all contact by email.If you are fortunate to catch her by telephone, she is most helpful.I was so pleased that the assessment had been done such that for me and my rescue boy, only one visit was necessary - the one where I was able to bring him home to his new life.

Fantastic place. Best rehoming centre for Border Collies in country. My lovely Billy I got from Spot. Love the work they do. Do not take any notice of adverse comment by one person. I would make a guess he is a dog dealer with his connections to the midlands!! I understand he has never visited the Spot so his comments have no substance!
