Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

you'll have to be a little more specific links location etc. a lot of different animal organizations come up when I google "Best Friends"
If you know a rescue that has border collies and arent judgmental simply by questions answered on a sheet of paper or quick to decline someone after seeing the distance then PLEASE send them my way.

They are INCREDIBLY thorough, and Right now they are doing free air travel for adopted pets.

Use the filters on the left side. They will ABSOLUTELY work with people and WANT these dogs to go to good caring loving FOREVER homes. They test dogs that may or may not be okay with cats, with dog friendly cats, they test them with other dogs, too. Communicate heavily with them, they will definitely find you a good match if all others fall through. These were the people that took in and helped save a lot of the Michael Vick dogs, rehabilitated them and adopted them out to their forever homes.
They are a heavy NO KILL shelter. They keep the dogs they get until they are adopted. Even seniors.

That will be the shelter i adopt from, when we go to look for a second dog, in the future. I support their mission entirely. They are incredible.

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately they don't have anything I'm looking for at the moment, but I will keep them in mind. If you know any other rescues that do long distance adopting/transport servicing please let me know

Will do! Google Adoption transport too. There are groups that link up with others who will drive dogs one on one to get them to a new home. The grassroots movement is around, and sometimes better than all these fancy shelters with massive adoption costs.
Best Friends has a shelter in Las Vegas too, so look into that new one as well.
I will do some more hunting for you! I got my border/husky/pointer ( mostly border!) for 50.00 from a lady who pulled him and his brother from a HIGH KILL shelter. they were both going to be put to sleep at 11 weeks old! Best decision i EVER made and seriously, best dog. Borders are incredible dogs, so i totally understand why you are determined to find THE RIGHT one.

"On The Road Again" is one of the transport groups. I've done transport with them numerous times to get a dog from point A to point B.

Not to make too light of what's obviously an upsetting situation, but found this and thought it might make you smile a bit....

Just wanted to update everyone. My adoption quest still has no happy ending. But im still trying. In the mean time I have started an account on Wordpress to talk about everything. I blogged about everything that happened with the NC rescue. If anyone is interested I am passing this around, Ive shared it on Facebook, if anyone has any animal, dog or rescue related pages saved or knows anywhere this story can be shared I ask if anyone can share this blog I want this story to be shared with everyone
