Dazzle Border Collie & Cattle Dog Mix Sautee Nacoochee, GA

Meet Dazzle
This beautiful young pup Dazzle, and her sisters Hermione and Misty, have had a very rough beginning. They’d been starved and uncared for most all of their young life. Thank goodness they had each other. Since arriving, we’ve been working with each of the sisters to build their confidence and show them kindness.
Dazzle is thought to be a cattle dog mix, given her beautiful blue eyes. Sadly, right now her eyes are mixed with pain and uncertainty. They bore through your heart, making you want to do everything you can to take her pain away. She is small in size and our vet expects that she and her sisters will remain small. She is about six months old and just precious. She’s not what we’d call brave, but she is trying so hard. Our staff and volunteers spend time with her to show her that hoomans can be kind and gentle. Dazzle, after a bit of time spent with someone, will lean into the kindness and roll over for belly rubs and some snuggles. To see her cower initially is heartbreaking though. We can only imagine the scary and uncaring world she’s experienced
until now. Dazzle loves her sisters and other dogs. She and our recent rescue, Dot, love playing with each other. Dot’s calm and easy-going personality works great for Dazzle and brings her out of her shyness.
Dazzle and her sisters will make for wonderful and loyal dogs, but the person who adopts will need to have infinite patience to meet Dazzle where she is. We are sure that in a little bit of time Dazzle will be able to put her previous life behind her and embrace her new world. Dazzle will need a fenced yard to safely run in. Dazzle would do well with another dog in the home, perhaps one of her sisters, or a calm and friendly confident dog that she can learn from.
We hate to think of Dazzle’s life as a tiny puppy in this great big world, not given food or water and certainly no love. But she is loved now and we’re doing whatever we can to help her erase her past. Perhaps you can be a part of her future and give her a happy home filled with love.
