Current Resue Info-NW Florida Area?

[TwoDogNight]

Hello.

I will be rescuing a border collie upon our return from Europe in mid September. I live near Destin, Florida (NW Florida panhandle--below Alabama).

I have tried to E-mail a couple of rescue organization/individual near us and got one returned e-mails and telephone #'s not working. Is there BC Rescue in Tallahassee or Pensacola in Fla. or Lower Alabama? Or will I have to contact someone in Atlanta? Thanks for any info. you can give me.

I don't know if you ONLY want to go through rescue, or are open to adopting directly from a shelter. Some very nice dogs pop up in Mobile, Defuniak Springs, and Chipley shelters.

For rescue groups, I would recommend monitoring Aussie and Me, River Dog Rescue, and honestly, just monitoring Petfinder.com as Border Collies do wind up in all-breed rescues at times You can also look a bit farther afield, but know that a good rescue will need to find someone to do a home visit before agreeing to the adoption and assurances that, should things not work out, you would make arrangements to get the dog back to the rescue.

Thanks so much for thinking ahead, and for wanting to rescue!
