AIMS:

To try and relieve the suffering of animals in the Scottish Borders who come into our care. 

Borders Animal Welfare take in dogs, cats and small animals that are no longer able to be looked after in their present homes for whatever reason.  We receive no funding and rely totally on donations from the public to fund our work.

We have successfully rehomed hundreds of animals within the Scottish Borders and further afield.  We employ staff trained in dog and cat care with experience in the assessment in both the health and training needs of the animals.  We provide training to all the dogs that come into our care so we ensure that they are homed as quickly as possible and with the best possible chance of success.

We have a strict No Kill policy
