If you sponsor a dog you will be advised of the progress of the dog you are supporting, but we will not be incurring unnecessary costs in such areas as sending Christmas or Birthday cards from Trust dogs, as we assume that any money you are able to donate should be spent on the dogs and not administration. We will not spend money on direct marketing. News items and updates on all our dogs and their progress will be on this website and in the Trust pages of the Freedom of Spirit magazine, If you take out a subscription to the magazine please quote reference fostbc and the magazine will donate £1.00 from your subscription to The Freedom of Spirit Trust for Border Collies.
