About Jetsam

Jetsam is a five-month-old, large mixed breed puppy with Border Collie, Great Pyrenees, and Australian Shepherd in her background. Her black and cream markings stand out, and she has a medium coat that hints at her herding heritage. Jetsam is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and already spayed. She’s just learning the ropes of house training. If you have another dog, that’s a plus—Jetsam gets along well with other dogs. For Jetsam, the rescue looks for adopters able to provide secure, safe outdoor containment, but a traditional fence isn’t a blanket requirement. However, invisible fences are not allowed for her safety. If you’re out-of-state, you’ll need to come to Omaha to meet her before adoption. Jetsam’s adoption fee is fully sponsored.
