Jack

Meet Jack!

Jack is a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, about four years old, and current on all immunizations. He weighs a little over 60 pounds has a soft short coat with a docked tail that wags incessantly. Jack is very affectionate, playful, and is definitely a people pleaser.

This big boy knows basic commands and has a good recall. As is typical with the herding breeds, Jack thrives on an abundance of physical and mental challenges. He is house trained, knows how to use the doggie door and has not had any accidents at his foster home. Jack walks well on a long line but would benefit from additional training on a short leash.

He was formerly listed as a “project dog” but after some changes in training methodology that designation has been removed. He still has a tendency to get excited when new people come around, so a firm, knowledgeable hand from a calm, collected pack leader is what Jack needs most. In other words, lots of love and attention from someone who knows how to be the alpha in the relationship.

Jack is not much for interactive play, though he does enjoy chew toys and can even entertain himself with a stick to chew on. He is also happy to just chill on the sofa. Maybe you can think of an activity that Jack would enjoy sharing with you!

Jack is looking for a home where he is the only dog. He has not been tested with cats but most likely would do best without them. Jack is sociable with all people but because of his size and play style, a home with smaller/younger children would not be a good choice. A fenced yard is a must for this happy dog!

If you are the perfect forever home for Jack, please fill out an application and contact his foster parents at curt@curtharvey.com. BRBCR’s approval process includes phone interviews, reference checks, and a home visit prior to meeting a foster dog. Approved applicants must meet at the foster dog’s location. Every adoption begins with a 2-week trial period.

Jack’s adoption fee is $300.

Thank you for considering a rescue dog!
