  • Mogie

    Adopted 12/12/2018

    We were heartbroken. We had lost our dog to cancer. After 4 days of an empty house, I reached out to AZBCR. We reviewed dogs and scheduled meet/greets. Tracy said look at a lot of dogs before deciding. At our first meeting, we walked into Rachel and Jeff’s yard, and there he was, playing with their pack. He looked at me with his big golden-brown eyes and I knew he was the one. He jumped up and gave me a big wet kiss on the nose. I tried to tell Rachel we would be back again that weekend. She told me that it was a ridiculous idea, and that Mogie was the dog for us. I told her what Tracy said she laughed and told us to take him for a walk and talk about it. When we returned, we knew he was going home with us. He has spent every night sleeping on our feet. He greets us every morning with big wet kisses. He has the sweetest disposition. He has snuggled his way into our hearts. Jeff said Mogie chose us because he knew our hearts were broken and he was the one to heal them.

  • Austin

    New Name: Baxter
    Adopted 12/08/2018

    It has been a month since I adopted Baxter (Austin). He is such a love and fits in beautifully with all the fur babies (kitties too). Despite his sister Keeli being selfish with toys they have great fun together. There's a lot of chasing. Rides in the car are fun and he jumps right in now because we go see the friendly Great Dane cousins. Walks in the morning, treat time at lunch and cocktails (string cheese) in the evening. Learning new commands and working on old ones. Love,love, love this boy.

  • M&M

    New Name: Emmie
    Adopted 11/18/2018

    We lost our 3rd BC rescue at age 15 over eight months ago. We kept scanning the AZBCR adoptables for our next dog but, unfortunately (for us, not the dog), every rescue we were interested in was quickly adopted. Then, in November, we were granted a Meet and Greet with this sweet girl and she became ours! Emmy was very shy but she has really blossomed in just the two short months we’ve had her. She is gaining confidence, doing well on manners and even “shakes paw.” Her biggest challenge is learning how to play (toys mean nothing to her currently), but she loves long walks and is always eager to go. Emmy has a well endowed “helicopter” tail that is constantly in motion. She is a happy girl and we just love her! Thanks to AZBCR for rescuing her from Texas so she could find her forever home in Arizona!

  • Indiana Bones “Indi”

    New Name: Kato
    Adopted 11/04/2018

    Kato is the perfect fit for our family. Thank you Brittany (amazing foster mom) for convincing us to meet him during the agility competition at West World. Truly love at first sight.He is a great walker/hiker, loves to follow me (Bette) around when I am working in the yard (my shadow), and is fascinated with the cats (they are still not sure). He is very well behaved and is an easy traveler. We are always trying to figure out what he is thinking. He gives us the most interesting/intelligent looks. Christmas was especially fun, when our children met him for the first time. They wanted to take him with them, but no he found his forever home with us!!! Thanks Arizona Border Collie Rescue for bringing us such a great companion!!!!

  • Apollo

    Adopted 10/26/2018

    Hi, I am Apollo.. or as my new mom calls me (she likes fewer syllables), Paolo. I have eased the grief of Mom and Dad and Abby (my BC mix sister from the Rez) over the loss of the elder BC's in their pack. I guess Abby was most miserable. She stopped playing with her toys. My New family had to wait 10 weeks til they were ready and able. Then they were READY.. but live in Colorado so getting in line for a fabulous AZBC was hard for them.. ya know.. meet and greets.. So Traci at AZBC looked for ME! And had them meet ME!! Donna, my AZBC foster, thought they were OK so I went home with them in October. Now Abby and I share and steal toys from one another, we go hiking and play in the snow, and I wear funny hats at Christmas (see our tails waggin in that pic?) , and we get to play with Lilly, the 10 year old granddaughterly!!. This place is WAY COOL.

    June Bug is a beautiful, smart, stubborn young girl with a bit of a crazy side. She is adjusting well to her new home, she is still unsure of some things such as the vet, other dogs, and loud noises but she is curious. She enjoys multiple walks a day with a few runs a week.

  • Dixie

    New Name: Princess
    Adopted 10/09/2018

    Dixie is our first foster, and we fell in love with her! My husband renamed her Princess. When she came to us she was exuberant and undisciplined! She is still exuberant and runs and plays and chases toys all day. But she is getting better on leash, and doing better at doing what is asked during her agility classes. She is just a love, and most of the folks who have come to the house for repairs have adored her hugs. We just can't imagine life without her and her enthusiasm! I have sent photos of her swimming, her favorite thing, and trying to get Daddy to throw a toy for her. The other day when she discovered our "orange ball" tree she was just so excited that we had all those toys for her. And she did AIDS Walk with us, which is important since I work for one of the beneficiary agencies!

  • Billy

    Adopted 10/07/2018

    Billy (now called Indi) is a 2 year old bundle of love, energy and curiosity. He was adopted when AZBCR came to Dogtoberfest in Prescott, AZ this past October. When he was rescued from a Phoenix shelter last spring by AZBCR he had heart worm disease. AZBCR graciously paid for his treatment and found a wonderful foster home for him to convalesce in while he went through 6 months of treatment. Now cured and getting stronger each day, Indi loves everyone that he meets, including other dogs, and delights in the discovery of the squirrels, deer and javelina that roam in his new neighborhood. I will always be incredibly grateful to AZBCR for giving this beautiful dog the opportunity to live the life he deserves in a forever home where he is loved and cherished.

  • Sam

    Adopted 09/28/2018

    My last BC lived to be be 16, I felt Sam (only 12) had alot to offer and he has exceeded my expectations. He is a lovely boy in every way. He is resilient after being through so much change. And don't believe that you can't teach an old dog new tricks? In 2 days, Sam learned to use the dog door. He comes when I call him. He loves to go on rides and walks. He has lovely manners and never barks at anyone even when other dogs bark at him. Sam has so much to give. I am lucky to have found him. He is full of unconditional love and has been a blessing in my life.
