Jessie was born in October 2009 and is a wonderful energetic  tri-colored border collie mix. If you love herding dogs you will absolutely adore Jessie. She has the intelligence, herding drive and agility skills that border collies are known and loved for. She has this great herding trait called  "the crouch" which is so fun to watch when she is following something with her eyes. She knows sit, shake, down, come and fetch. If you are looking for a walking/jogging partner, Jessie will be your best friend. She does well on a leash/harness.  Need someone to run errands with you, she loves to be the co-pilot. Open your car door and she promptly jumps in, happy to watch the scenery go by. (And she doesn't complain about the radio station!)

Jessie is living in a foster home with 2 other herding dogs, a female and a male. She plays very well with the male border collie, herding each other around the fenced yard. She gets along fine with  older female, respecting her space and leader of the pack status.

Don’t be scared of Jessie's energy level.  When it is time to settle down and snuggle, she quickly becomes a medium sized lapdog. Warning,  she’s been caught stealing covers  when napping with her foster mom.

Jessie is house broken and sleeps uncrated at night in the son's bedroom. She is crated when the family goes to work and school. She is very toy driven so she has a tendency to be rough on stuffed animals and dog toys.

She would love to be a part of a very active family that understands how awesome a “herder” can be.  A fenced yard is highly recommended.
