Trying to rescue .. Frustrated

As many of you know I lost my beloved golden earlier this month and have been looking into rescue organizations so here are some issues I am having first off the cost is quite high though I understand the need to recoupe some cost but 300.00 seems extreme in this ecomony wouldn't they rather GR goes to a good home . Next I live in Indiana and have found only one place that has rescues I also don't understand why you can't adopt outside of your state . I also do not understand why you can't choose which golden you are intrested in one site goes as far as saying we will match GR based on your application I don't think so sounds fishy to me . Any help would be appreciated
