About Remi Jean

Remi Jean is a 4-year-old spayed Border Collie brimming with the intelligence, heart, and work ethic this breed is renowned for. She's the kind of dog who wakes up each day eager for a purpose, ready to learn something new, and to be an integral part of a team.

Remi is a social butterfly, getting along wonderfully with other dogs, children, and even cats. While she enjoys keeping an eye on her feline friends and may occasionally try to herd them, she's always been gentle and has never caused them harm.

This intelligent girl is seeking a home that truly understands the unique needs of Border Collies. She's not looking for a sedentary lifestyle; she's looking for a partner in adventure. Whether it's hiking, training, agility, scent work, farm chores, trick training, or simply having a daily job to do, Remi flourishes when her mind and body are engaged.

Remi does have one adorable quirk: she's not a fan of thunderstorms. During storms, she'd love a thunder buddy to offer reassurance and comfort. A cozy spot near her people and a little extra attention go a long way in making her feel safe.

Due to her intelligence and drive, Remi requires a secure home and an experienced owner. When her need for stimulation isn't met, she can become quite the escape artist. This isn't a desire to run away from her family; it's her innate drive to find a job to do. Border Collies are thinkers, problem-solvers, and workers, and Remi is no exception.

Her previous story is a bit of a sad one. Remi repeatedly escaped her former home, often found near a busy highway. Instead of addressing her needs, her owner eventually told the kind individuals who returned her that they could keep her and find her a new home. Remi wasn't a bad dog; she was simply a Border Collie without an outlet, searching for the purpose she was bred for. Thankfully, her story didn't end there.

Today, Remi Jean is safe, loved, and ready for her next chapter. She's looking for someone who sees her for who she truly is: a brilliant, loyal, affectionate dog who deserves a life filled with adventure, partnership, and purpose. If you're searching for a dog who will be your shadow, your teammate, and your biggest fan, Remi Jean might be the perfect addition to your life.

Ideal Home

Remi thrives when her mind and body are engaged with activities like hiking, training, agility, scent work, farm chores, or trick training. She needs a secure home and an experienced owner who understands her drive.

Ongoing Health

Remi is fully vaccinated, on prevention, microchipped, and spayed.

Training & Support
