Jennifer and Jess
In Loving Memory of our daughter, Jennifer Pauline Fisher nee Blott and our pet border collie, Jess.
Jennifer would have been 29 on 10th September 2006 but sadly died in a car accident on 8th December 2005. Jess passed away on 16th June 2001.
As Jennifer was growing up nothing gave her greater pleasure than walking Jess. Now she can walk her all day every day, for all eternity.
We Love You Both
Love
 Mum, Dad and all your family.
This page is set up to assist American Border Collie owners and is dedicated to the memory of Jennifer and Jess who's family live in Texas

Border Collie Breed Rescue Specialists
The Border Collie Rescue links below are divided (alphabetically) into States. Many States have their own Border Collie Rescue. Some have none. Some Border Collie Rescue organisations cover many states - others are more localized. If your State is not listed look at the next nearest to see if that one is covered. The list is not definitive and will be updated if more organisations come to our attention. We encourage you to use bona fide registered non profit organisations and avoid using private enterprise individuals, but we cannot vouch that all the links below are to genuine non-profits and would appreciate feedback and comments - positive or negative.
 We have endeavored to place the email link next to the state where the listed rescue organisation has its HQ. Rescues are also listed in all the other  states we are aware they cover and work within. The entries in bold are the organisations that have been kind enough to provide us with a link from their own website.
