Pudge

New Name: Riot

Adopted 11/21/2021

Riot is a big fan of Frisbee, which is great! All my other dogs do frisbee every day and he's showing like he will fit right in. He LOVES kids, which is a good thing as he has three to keep up with (a 5 year old, 3 year old, and a 10 month old) He always hangs out where the baby is eating, as there are always goodies that fall from the sky. Funny story about Riot is that the dog has A LOT of go! The family (including three kids and two dogs) went on a hike and WOW, everyone made it - a total of 4 miles! Everyone slept well that night. He is living the good life and will have many adventures ahead.

Keeley

Adopted 10/10/2021

After being found on the reservation with several puppies, Keeley hit the jackpot with her forever family. As she is known to be skittish in new surroundings, her adopters are very patient with her and is showing her that the world isn't so scary. She spends her days going for car rides, 2 hour walks (or hiking), or just being lazy on the couch with her humans. Although her DNA test came back as 0 Border Collie, her family loves her to the moon and back.

David Rose

New Name: Trip

Adopted 06/03/2021

Trip, formerly known as David Rose, is living his best life. From being dumped in a shelter while tick infested and malnourished, to being a ball-crazy, fun-loving pup with a forever home. He loves being a shadow to his older BC brother Lenny and absolutely loves car rides with his feline brother - yes, you read that correctly. One of his favorite pastimes is playing ball or tug in the backyard with his humans and siblings, but can also snuggle with the best of them.

Deuce

New Name: Bronson James

Adopted 05/31/2021

Bronson James, previously known as Deuce, is a true BC and loves his tennis balls! He has a funny habit of bulldozing all the throw pillows off of the furniture and sprawl out wherever he chooses. He loves car rides, walks and wrestling all day long. His family is surprising him with an agility set for Christmas, so hopefully he finds a new hobby.

Libby

Adopted 05/08/2021

Libby is adapting very well to her new home and family. She loves her morning runs and afternoon naps while I work. She loves her sisters ( Annie and Jamie, 2 tuxedo cats). She wants to play with them all the time. However, they still want to keep her at a distance. At least they can all be in the same room now without too much hissing.

Sitka

Adopted 04/16/2021

Sitka is doing wonderfully! She is loving her new big brother, Ambrose, and chases him around the yard whenever she gets a chance. She loves to snuggle in bed, and she demands pets at every waking moment. She is still working on getting more comfortable with new people, but she has come such a long way and even initiates kisses within an hour of meeting someone. We are so happy to have Sitka in our home!

Juniper is doing great, developing into a real family dog. My kids love her and she is playful and laid back with us. We’re also doing a puppy class and she’s learning some spoken commands. We take her to the dog park almost every day and she’s making friends with all the other young dogs there.

Willow

Adopted 04/09/2021

Willow has been fitting right into her new home. She has made best friends with my other AZBCR rescue, Koda. They love running around the yard together and playing tug of war. Willow was just introduced to the baby pool, and was taking her out to see if she was ok with it. Well she was clawing at me to just stay in, definite water dog. Can’t wait to bring her up north with us hiking to get her in the creeks with the big dogs! She definitely fits right in with our pack! Can’t wait to see them all grow together.

Demi

New Name: Izzy

Adopted 04/09/2021

Izzy is the perfect addition to our family! She is a sweet, spunky goofball and quickly won over my 2.5 year old BC mix, Henry - the two are best pals. She loves our long hikes, chasing neighborhood bunnies, and playing tug-of-war with Henry. She had a well-deserved Mother's Day celebration with a bully stick! I'm so grateful to Tracy and Kerri for trusting me with this awesome girl.

Teddi

Adopted 04/07/2021

Teddi fits in perfectly with her human siblings! We kept her name Teddi and although her puffy, curly hair has straightened out, along with growing very long legs, and she no longer looks like a little teddy bear, she’s still cuddly as ever, thus will always be our Chocolate Teddi Graham. She has a very big personality, very playful, incredibly attached to the kids, and loves new people. She is very smart for her age, rather impressive. She alerts us when wanting to go outside and is trained in one area of the yard for potty. She loves socks. Not just any socks. My children’s socks that have been worn during the day, THAT is what comforts her when it’s time for her to be alone for bed. She loves exploring the yard and she has become very close with the two male dogs on the side of our house. They spend time running back and forth along the side of the house (separated by a fence). We’re thankful AZBCR allowed us to adopt her since we live out of state.

Sirius

New Name: Ava

Adopted 03/31/2021

Ava (aka Sirius Black) is adjusting well to life as a city dog. She’s a mini-celebrity in the neighborhood, and loves to greet her adoring public (both human and canine) and watch the city go by from our balcony. Other favorites include ice cubes, puzzle toys, hiding under the bed, and playing fetch in the hallway. Inspired by TikTok dogs Stella and Bunny, Ava is also learning to use buttons to ask for things. So far, she has buttons for “tug,” “ball,” “outside,” “water,” and “walk,” which she uses pretty reliably. Ava has been a wonderful addition to our family and we are so happy to have her!

Mali

New Name: Xena

Adopted 03/21/2021

I'm happy to say that Xena (formerly the "artist known as Mali") has been a wonderful addition to my home. She is acclimating to her new environment as each day passes. From what I understand of her background, going from being with a family in New Mexico to her excellent foster care at Linda's ranch of fun in Payson, to just me in Gilbert, she has probably been a bit challenged but we're bonding more every day. It's surprising to me that I found her so quickly, while still mourning the loss of my first BC, Sheena. Members on the AZBCR site said I'd know when I was ready...and that was true. I spotted Xena and sent a note inquiring about her. The next thing I know, I'm driving up to Payson for a meeting. Xena, is a little over a year old and a very shy/submissive, sweet girl. I'm hoping I can help her to joyfully become all she can be, in our life together. It's so interesting and fun to watch her blossom in her new surroundings. I know we will keep each other young, active an

Mako

Adopted 03/16/2021

Mako is doing great! He gets along really well with our 6 year old twin girls so all three get out their youthful energy together. Mako is a great eater and loves to play fetch in the backyard. He shows some dominance over our older BC George, but George is naturally submissive so we correct when we see it. We’ve taken Mako to our local dog park and he gets along great with other dogs. He only has one small bad behavior of digging the irrigation lines when they run so we switched the timer to nighttime. He gets at least two walks a day and has access to the backyard with a doggie door when we are at work and school.

Dawn

Adopted 03/13/2021

When I adopted Dawn, I was told that she was very timid. Bringing her home with me, I have found that she is anything but. She is always excited and ready to go wherever life has taken us for the last few months. Dawn is the sweetest little love bug who loves everyone she meets and is always so happy to just be around people. We've already had so many adventures together, from going camping to going to the dog park weekly. She loves playing with other dogs, and she loves all of the cats in our house. I'm so grateful that I've gotten to have such an amazing companion around.

Winchester

New Name: Winnie

Adopted 03/13/2021

Winchester is now called Win or Winnie. We have had this boy for a month and he has helped heal our broken heart from the loss of our border collie - Zeke in December. Win loves to chase rabbits in our yard and he loves watching all the birds! This boy loves all food! He can eat his dinner in seconds! He has a very sweet temperament and is very smart and likes to please! I love how he will come check in with me by putting his nose in my hand! Win has some work to do - not launching at cars and sneaking out of the yard when the opportunity arises! We love him very much and we are so grateful we were able to adopt him!
