Jack is a sweet, four-year-old Border Collie with plenty of life and love to share. He loves his people, keeps an eye on everyone in the household, enjoys backyard play or lounging beside you, and is an easygoing, quiet gentleman.

Jack is lower-energy than many Border Collies and enjoys leisurely leash walks. He is affectionate with everyone he meets, does well with cats and dogs, and enjoys playing chase with his foster dad. He is comfortable in his crate and in the car, knows his name and several commands, and learns routines quickly.

Ideal Home

Jack would thrive with loving adopters who appreciate his gentle, lower-energy nature and can provide companionship, leisurely walks, and opportunities for play. He does well with cats and dogs.
