Recognising people who have helped with our websites
Border Collie Rescue began to design and provide content for their own Website to help promote better care and understanding of the breed in June 1999.At that time no-one in the organisation had any experience of the Internet or of Website design and maintenance.
Now the charity has four individual websites, all run in house.
It has been a steep learning curve with a lot of help from the parties below.
Our first website was set up and hosted by Stuart Watson of Succeed Systems - now Aspire Web Media (Based in Wimbledon, Surrey) Internet Service Providers. Stuart came across an article about us in a national newspaper and was impressed by the dedication and history the charity.
He called us and offered to help us set up internet access, email, and provide and register our domain, help us design our first website, host it and to act as IT consultant, as and when appropriate, all free of charge.
Since then Stuart has continued to host our websites, provide email, and re-register our various domains as renewal comes up.
He has done this all without any cost to Border Collie Rescue and we are extremenly grateful for his generousity.
The content of this, and our other websites have also been provide free of charge.
We are grateful for the co-operation of a large number of companies and individuals who have supplied articles, information, images, cartoons, animation's and other material to help in the presentation of this site and the people who have spent time researching suitable and informative webpages for our websites link to.
There are too many to list here, but credit has been given where the contributions appear.
Websites are of little use unless
there are computers to design and create them on, process images
and videos for them and access the internet to upload and
maintain them.
There are also people and companies who have
donated hardware, software and services over the last two
decades to make this happen. They know who they are and we are
grateful to them for their donations.
Our thanks, regards and best wishes
go out to all who have helped and who are helping us to help so many dogs and people around the world through
our website facilities.
We welcome offers of contribution from
genuine people who wish to help us improve our content.

At Border Collie Rescue we are all volunteers because we have a passion for the breed - not just a liking or a respect or an admiration or a feeling of kindred spirit - we have all of that and more.
We feel strongly about the abuse and exploitation the breed has suffered and is suffering, particularly in these enlightened times.
We want to change this.............. We want to hear from others who feel the same.
