HI EVERYONE MY NAME IS DIXIE!!!! I am a 4-5 year old female mix that was found as a stray in Wickenburg. I was out exploring on my own for about 2 weeks, I have a skin condition that has left me without some fur (less fur to vacuum!) on my legs and back. It hasn't grown back in over a year, but it makes me unique and fits my funny personality. My fur is VERY soft. I have medium drive and would love to hike or go for long walks! I'm not in love with playing ball but I do love to tug! (see my video of the zoomies) I am a very good couch and bed cuddler. I prefer fewer dogs in the house, but I may get along with quieter calmer male dogs! Dixie has been through training and has great leash skills, stays, place command and loves her crate! I may not look like a traditional Border Collie, but it is in there! Dixie very rarely barks! If you adopt Dixie, she will come with additional training. See her profile here: https://azbcr.org/Adopt/AvailableBorderCollies/RescueDetails.aspx?rid=5221

After a brief Home Check, we will match you with dogs. You will visit them at their fosters so you get a taste how they are in a home env.
Additional adoption info
We have a 3-step adoption process to make sure you find the right dog for your family.
First you fill out an application, and then you will have a phone interview to find out just what type of dog you are looking for and if you are familiar with the breed. Next you will be scheduled for a home visit to better assess your needs and the appropriate activity level and age of a potential dog adoption. Last but most important you will be scheduled to meet the Border Collies that would suit you and your family the best for a long happy life together.
