![]() At the Rescue & Sanctuary here at Glen Highland, years remain ahead for the Senior Border Collies... time for more ball play, car rides and country walks, for cuddles in bed, for a loving human connection… it would have been tragic for the lives of these seniors to end just because they were older. Glen Highland is the only rescue focused on these truly fragile Border Collies who would otherwise, perish. Help keep our doors open to help the most vulnerable dogs.
The Rescue provides the stronger Seniors another chance to be an adored companion and adopted into a new home. Either way is a win because deserving dogs get a chance to live on. |
Glen Highland History, from 2001 forward... Sometimes when you least expect it, life takes a turn Glen Highland is one of those momentous occurrences that dramatically changed two lives and many thousands more that touch this place thanks to the dogs whose spirits led us here and forever changed our path. Founders, John Andersen and Lillie Goodrich, opened their hearts to Border Collies and changed their own lives as well as so many, many others, human and canine. |

In 2019, the focus shifted solely to meet the needs of abandoned Seniors, often overlooked as unadoptable. Again, Glen Highland broke new ground, as the ONLY rescue devoted to Senior Border Collies, providing long-term care for truly unadoptable dogs with nowhere to go as well as a chance for adoption for those healthy with so much life left to live! We can provide the time needed to heal abandonment as well as wait for that special person that could come for them. We also provide refuge for various age BCs with behavioral or medical challenges, making them unsuitable for a new home. Answering the needs of Seniors lead to a move in 2020 to the warmer climate of Virginia, more favorable to the dogs. Sunny days on 15 acres of flat land will the transformation from sadness to joy as the Border Collies renew their energy to play again!
Glen Highland is a personal journey and commitment, and one shared with others. These amazing Border Collies are great masters of ‘being’ which is something the world needs to experience again. Stop all the 'doing' and learn how to 'be' who you really are in the world. That’s what Glen Highland is all about. |
