About Jeff

Border Collie
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

We have to surrender our loving dog, Jeff. Due to a severe illness in our family, we're downsizing, and we can't take him with us where we are going. He is nine years old, fully vaccinated, neutered, well-taken care of, completely housetrained, and an intelligent Border Collie, 70-pound -male. The local shelters in the DeKalb area are filled to capacity, and we're at a loss as to how to allow our beloved pet to start the next chapter of his life with a new family. He's friendly with all sorts of people, including children. He has not lived with other pets but is not aggressive, just curious, and quickly makes friends. He is very well behaved in the house, but he does need a place to run outside, or the owner needs to be willing to take him on walks and hikes. We have full vet records, and everything is up to date. He has a no-grain diet. His favorite games are frisbee and catch. He loves to travel and is very well behaved in new places. He was initially crate trained, but we have not used it for years; I'm sure he'd go right back to it, as he likes cozy corners to chill out. He is trained to sit, come, stay, shake, and rollover. He even picks up his toys when enticed by bits of a treat to do it. In addition, he understands many words like 'outside,' 'treat,' 'walk,' 'no,' and 'go.' He can be very quickly trained to do and understand many things.
