About Dolly
Dolly is a spirited Border Collie mix in Phoenix, AZ who brings equal parts energy and affection to every day. She’ll meet you at the door with happy chatter—grumbles, snorts, yips, and barks—then flop beside you for a good snuggle session when the day winds down. She loves spending time by your side, whether you’re out in the yard or enjoying a quiet night indoors. Dolly is kennel trained and finds comfort in having her own safe space, and she’s eager to please, picking up basic commands with consistency and patience, though she can lose focus if other dogs are around. She’s dog friendly and loves to play, though her excitement can get the best of her and she’ll need reminders to use her manners. Dolly has a strong prey drive and cannot live with cats or small animals, which is non-negotiable. Paper products aren’t safe around her—she’ll happily turn a tissue or envelope into confetti, and she’s a quick little thief with any small object left within reach. Treats are for burying, not just eating, and she’ll show off her quirky instincts any chance she gets. Dolly is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and in excellent health. She does best in quieter settings since crowds and busy environments can overstimulate her. An active family who enjoys outdoor fun and also values downtime at home will be a great match. Dolly hasn’t spent time with small children, but with careful introductions, she’s likely to do well. She’s waiting for someone to give her the loving, balanced home she’s ready for.
