Story
Laila was rescued from the streets of Boulder, CO, and became a part of our family at around five years old.In the three years since, she has shown herself to be an outstanding dog, exhibiting a calm nature that resonates with everyone she meets. Laila is lively yet responds well to training, demonstrating good behavior indoors, around food, and with children. However, she encounters difficulties with other dogs. Although she has canine friends and currently lives with another dog, it takes time and training for her to feel at ease sharing her space. When meeting new dogs, Laila often reacts with confusion and protectiveness, which can result in aggressive behavior. There have been a few instances of dog fights involving bites, but thankfully, no serious injuries occurred. So, being highly attentive to this issue coupled with ample space to run freely, and perhaps in a home without other dogs, you can experience Laila and her unique ability to bring calm to the people around her.

Story
Hello. Our names are Nadia (F), Kinsey (M), Nathan (M), and Skeeter (M). Our rescuer was told our mom was a Belgian Malinois and dad was a Border Collie. We were born on July 8, 2023. We were turned over to the rescue lady when we were little babies. There were eight of us. Not long after arriving, we started to get sick. We four were and are the healthiest. When we were out playing in the yard, she often asked us where the babies went, who was sweet and shy. Who switched them out of your energizer bunnies, then laughed as we ran around like crazy kids? We are brilliant, treat motivated (easy to train), sulk when scolded, crate trained, shy at first but warm up quickly, not house or leash trained (quick learners), like cats, submissive to other dogs, and have never been around children. Our foster mom has commented how wonderful we would be on an agility course.   I want to go hiking, go to the beach, run around on snow deeper than I am tall, curl up with you in front of the fireplace, and watch a movie. I have only heard my foster mom talking about most of this stuff. If you have patience and teach me, I will love doing whatever you do. Please request an application to begin the adoption process at alittlelonger2home@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Ozy, a joyful border collie mix, whose luck changed thanks to his sister. Sheesh was pulled from a rural animal control, and she was such a wonderful dog that her foster decided she couldn’t leave the brother behind.  Ozy is about 8 months old and has a very similar personality to his sister. He’s happy, goofy, playful and super friendly with people and other dogs. According to a breed test done on Ozy’s sister, Ozy is likely half border collie, about 25 percent lab and small percentages of a few other breeds, including German Shepherd.  Ozy is an active older puppy who loves going on walks. He would love an active family who wants to take him on adventures. A playful doggy sibling and large fenced-in yard would be an added bonus!  Ozy is very smart and goes to his crate when he hears the word “crate.” He sleeps quietly in his crate at night and is solidly potty trained. He currently weighs 45 lbs and we’re guessing he won’t surpass 60 lbs, so he’ll be a nice, manageable size when full grown. If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at https://www.dixiegirldogrescue.org/forms PLEASE MAKE NOTE- OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN ALABAMA (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED), OUR DOGS TRANSPORT TO THEIR NEW FAMILIES IN RHODE ISLAND AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED. Our rescue pets are fostered in Southern foster homes (unless otherwise stated) and are posted for adoption once they are completely vetted and ready to travel. Our pets are adoptable in Alabama and New England States. Our adoption fee includes transport fee, spay/neuter, current vaccinations, deworming, heart worm test for animals over 7 months old, all necessary vetting and an interstate health certificate. Once an application is received, our team is happy to answer all of your questions and send additional pictures and videos. Thank you for thinking rescue!

Story
Mia is a 3 year old purebred Border Collie that was brought over to the United States from Colombia in June 2021. She has a brown and white coat and is more on the heavy side around 60 lbs. She is great with people and kids, though she can be territorial with other dogs. Our family was able to take care of her until our father passed away suddenly in April 2023. Since then, we have moved to a significantly smaller house and changed our work scheduled, making it difficult to care for her and our other two dogs. We would like her to go to a home that has plenty of outdoor space and a dog-loving family that wants a companion that constantly wants to be cuddled.
