Story
Frankie is a sweet puppy boy who is a foster favorite. He's everything you want in a dog: goofy, loving, playful, sweet, and cuddly! We think he's a border collie/bully breed mix, but whatever his mix is, it makes him perfect! A smart little guy, Frankie keeps his crate clean and does really well in the house. He loves chasing balls and wrestling with other dogs. This sweet puppy's greatest trait is that he loves his people. While his littermates take off when they come out of the crate, he immediately stays behind to give kisses and be petted. There's a heart dog in every litter, and Frankie is that dog. Frankie was born in December 2025 and found on a dirt road in January. He's fully vetted and ready to be your best snuggle buddy.

Story
Meet Todd Todd is a 5-month-old Border Collie mix with the sweetest personality and a fun, playful spirit. Hes expected to stay on the smaller side, around 40 lbs full grown, making him a great medium-sized companion. This smart boy is quick to learn and loves to make his people smile with his goofy, funny personality. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he warms up, hes incredibly affectionate and loyal. Todd is doing wonderfully with house training and crate training, and hes already showing how eager he is to learn. He does great with kids and other dogs, but will need a feline-free home as he may chase cats. Todd is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home

Story
Meet Sheesh, a one-year-old pup whose unique personality perplexed her foster mom until she received the breed results — border collie and Labrador retriever!  Sheesh’s hobbies are all lab. She loves playing fetch and brings the ball back consistently.  Sheesh also loves water and will go towards any source of water, whether it’s coming from a sprinkler in the neighborhood or running in a creek. She loves being outside in the rain and isn’t afraid of getting all wet. She’s so calm and easy during baths that her foster mom still bathes her in the kitchen sink even though she’s much too big for it now at 45 lbs full grown.  The border collie in Sheesh is also very apparent in how intelligent and obedient she is. Sheesh follows instructions without the need for a treat. She’ll come when you call her name and go to her crate when told to. She’s very smart and learns new skills quickly. She also has some herding tendencies and can get very focused on things like a squirrel in the yard. She’s of course energetic, but does take plenty of naps throughout the day.  Sheesh will do best in an active home with owners who want to take her on long morning walks. Sheesh loves her walks, but she can get a little too excited by other excitable dogs she encounters. She will need someone willing to work with her on this, possibly with a trainer’s help. Sheesh is very redirectable and responsive if the person walking her knows what to do.  Sheesh has been in her foster home since July 2024 and is fully potty trained, crate trained and has zero separation anxiety. She’s super friendly, happy and loving, and is friends with all the dogs in her foster home. There’s not a mean bone in her body. She even shows remarkable patience with small puppies, letting them climb all over her and chew on her beautiful, fluffy tail. Although she’s not perfect, Sheesh is a special young dog who will bring great joy to her forever family.”

Story
**Meet Piper! 💜** Just like her namesake from *Charmed*, Piper is sweet, lovable, and impossible not to adore. At just 4–5 months old and 15 pounds of pure cuteness and wiggles, this Border Collie mix is ready to charm her way right into your heart. Piper has all the intelligence and personality you'd expect from a Border Collie, but with a more laid-back, easygoing attitude. She's goofy, playful, and always up for fun, but she also knows how to relax and enjoy a good nap. One of Piper's best qualities? She's fantastic with kids. She's spent months living with a busy toddler and remains completely unbothered by the chaos, noise, and constant activity. She takes it all in stride and has been an absolute rockstar family dog. Piper is fully crate trained and actually loves her crate—she'll happily go in on cue and settle down for some quiet time. She's about 85% potty trained and continues to make great progress every day. She's also wonderful with other dogs and has done great living alongside a cat. When it comes to affection, Piper has the perfect balance. She's a world-class snuggler when you're in the mood for cuddles, but she's also independent enough to be perfectly content relaxing on a dog bed or hanging out in her kennel nearby. We haven't started leash training yet simply because there haven't been enough hours in the day, but Piper is incredibly smart and eager to learn. She'll pick it up in no time with a little consistency and patience. Piper has spent her puppyhood waiting for a family to call her own. Now she's ready for her forever home—one that will appreciate her sweet nature, goofy personality, and endless capacity for love. Could Piper be your perfect match? 🐾❤️ 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
Odin is a very silly, fun, and energetic dog but also loves taking naps and just being with you. He is happiest when he’s got his pack with him all in the same room. He needs a space where he has plenty of room to run and prefers the outdoors in any climate. He can be a little aggressive if he is startled and needs a good routine. Giving him away breaks his owners hearts because he truly is a good dog, he just needs lots of love while also giving him the freedom to be a dog.
