Alabama has no active Border Collie rescue based inside the state. The closest dedicated option is The Dog Liberator, a Florida herding breed rescue that names Alabama in its foster and adoption area. Several older Alabama listings for Border Collie and herding groups have closed or moved out of state.

How to Adopt a Border Collie in Alabama
Most Border Collie rescues place dogs through foster homes. Expect an application, a reference check and a home visit before you meet a dog, and an adoption fee that usually covers vaccines, a microchip and spay or neuter surgery. Check each group’s website for current dogs, since good matches go quickly.
Our guide to adopting a Border Collie covers the questions to ask a rescue and what the first weeks at home look like.
