 Meet Dizzie – A Loving, Lively Young Collie

Dizzie is a beautiful young female Border Collie, around 1–2 years old and weighing only 10kg. She may be small in size, but she has a big heart full of love and energy.

Dizzie adores people – she is gentle, affectionate, and happiest when she’s being stroked and cuddled. Because she can feel a little insecure, she often seeks reassurance and closeness from her humans. With the right support, she will blossom into a loyal companion.

One of her greatest joys in life is her toys! Dizzie is toy-obsessed and can get carried away in play, so she’ll need an experienced owner who understands how to handle her carefully and positively. She is currently learning that she doesn’t need to guard her toys, and with patient training, she will continue to improve.

She is already doing well with her crate training – she sleeps peacefully in her crate at night and takes daytime naps there. Her recall is improving, though like any young collie, she can get distracted.

Dizzie would be perfect for someone interested in dog sports such as agility – she is quick, clever, and eager to learn. She needs an active, experienced home, ideally with a young couple or individual who understands collies and can continue her training.

Dizzie has also started on allergy medication. Unless we’re able to identify and remove the trigger, she may need to remain on this long-term — so adopters should expect this to be an ongoing cost of around £70–£100 per month.

✨ Dizzie is currently in a loving foster home, where she’s learning all about family life. She’s happiest when she has people to herself — she isn’t too keen on sharing the spotlight with the resident pug princess! For this reason, we believe she would truly flourish as the only dog in her new home. The sooner Dizzie finds her special person, the sooner she can shine as the devoted companion she longs to be. ✨

Please note: We often receive a high number of applications, and while every one is read with care, unfortunately Gill does not have the capacity to respond to everyone individually. If you don’t hear back, please know it simply means we didn’t feel this particular dog was the right match for your home at this time. Thank you so much for understanding and for your support of rescue.
