Border Terrier Welfare is a national organisation established to promote and, where necessary, provide for the care and rehoming of Border Terriers.  We currently rehouse approximately 100 dogs a year, these varying in age from 4 months to 12 years.  It is not our policy to rehouse puppies where the breeder of the puppy is prepared to do so.  However we do find occasionally that our help is needed.

We did expect and have found that the number of dogs needing to be rehoused has increased over the last 10 years, as the popularity of the breed has increased.  This trend is likely to continue as more people discover this delightful breed and we have an organisation in place that will cope with this increase.

Border Terrier Welfare is a Registered Charity (Reg No. 1116853) in the United Kingdom and is funded by donations and occasional fund raising events.  The continued operation and prosperity of the organisation is dependent on the people who volunteer to work within the organisation and our success is due wholly to them.

Should you wish to volunteer or help BTW in any other way, please contact your nearest Area Representative who, I am sure, will be pleased to hear from you.

John Evans, Chairman (October 2008)

In accordance with our new policy we will follow up every BT re-homing with a call to his or her new owners to find out if all is going well and if there are any problems provide some advice as to what action can be taken to overcome the situation.
