About Remi Jean

Remi Jean is a 4-year-old spayed Border Collie bursting with the intelligence, heart, and work ethic that makes her breed so renowned. She wakes up each day eager to have a purpose, learn something new, and be an integral part of a team. Remi is a social butterfly, getting along wonderfully with dogs, kids, and even cats. While she enjoys keeping a watchful eye on her feline companions and might occasionally herd them, she's always been gentle and has never caused them harm.

This bright girl is seeking a home that truly understands the unique spirit of Border Collies. She's not looking for a life of leisure; she's searching for a partner for adventure! Whether it's hiking, training, agility, scent work, farm chores, trick training, or simply having a daily task, Remi blossoms when her mind and body are actively engaged. She does have a charming vulnerability: thunderstorms. During storms, Remi would be incredibly grateful for a "thunder buddy" to offer reassurance and comfort. A cozy spot near her people and a little extra TLC go a long way during these times.

Because of her exceptional intelligence and drive, Remi needs a secure home and an experienced owner. When her needs for fulfillment aren't met, she can become quite the escape artist. This isn't an attempt to leave her family; it's her way of seeking a job to do. Border Collies are natural thinkers, problem-solvers, and workers, and Remi is no exception. Her past was unfortunately marked by repeated escapes from her previous home, often leading her near a busy highway. Instead of addressing her inherent need for engagement, her owner eventually relinquished her to those who returned her, stating they could keep her and rehome her. Remi was never a "bad" dog; she was a Border Collie without an outlet, searching for the purpose she was bred for. Fortunately, her story took a turn for the better.

Today, Remi Jean is safe, cherished, and ready for her next adventure. She's looking for someone who recognizes her for the brilliant, loyal, and affectionate dog she is, deserving of a life filled with adventure, partnership, and purpose. If you're seeking a dog who will be your devoted shadow, your enthusiastic teammate, and your biggest fan, Remi Jean might just be the perfect addition to your life.
