She loves car rides, walks well on a leash, and is friendly when meeting new dogs. Though she’s still working on recall and navigating new places, she doesn’t dart for open doors and enjoys exploring.This playful, affectionate pup with her adorable bobbed tail is looking for a loving adopter to help her grow in confidence and embrace the stability of a forever home.

🌼Meet Cookie Cookie is a six month old Border Collie mix. She was saved by a kind family after being hit by a car. She is fully recovered from her injuries now and is ready to find her new family. 💕 Cookie is not only beautiful but is incredibly sweet as well. She is kind and gentle and just wants to be loved. She can be a bit shy at first but quickly warms up once she meets you and will stick by her person like glue. Cookie would be a great family dog with older children or the perfect companion. Due to her breed mix she needs space to run so a fenced in yard or a home with acreage would be ideal. 🐾 If Cookie sounds like the one you have been waiting for, please submit the adoption application. Sweet Cookie deserves to be loved and spoiled for the rest of her life! 🥰

Story
Meet Sheesh, an energetic and happy-go-lucky Border Collie/Lab mix, who is as cute and silly as her name!  Sheesh was found as a stray with her brother Ozy, and we’re estimating the siblings to be about 8 to 9 months old. While her age is a little uncertain, her breed is much more clear. According to newly arrived breed-test results, Sheesh is half Border Collie and a quarter Labrador Retriever, along with small amounts of a few other breeds. She has a beautiful, somewhat-long and wavy coat with a fluffy tail.  Sheesh is super friendly with adults, kids and other dogs. There’s truly not a mean bone in her body. She would do best in a home with another young and/or playful dog. She has the potential to annoy an older dog who doesn’t like to play.  Sheesh’s hobbies include chewing on ice cubes and playing fetch. She loves chasing the ball and brings it back most of the time. She could be a fetch expert with a little training. Sheesh also loves water. We’re not sure if she can swim, but she enjoys walking through sprinklers on walks and looks so happy when she’s all wet! She sits calmly in the bath tub during bath time.  Sheesh is an active older puppy and would love an active family who wants to take her on adventures. A playful doggy sibling and large fenced-in yard would be an added bonus!  Sheesh is very smart and goes to her crate when she hears the word “crate.” She sleeps quietly in her crate at night and is solidly potty trained. She currently weighs 40lbs and we’re guessing she won’t surpass 50 lbs, so she’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.

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.
