About Jade

Jade is a 5-6 year old Border Collie with a big heart and a sharp mind. She arrived alongside Jasper and her pups, and quickly demonstrated how well-mannered and affectionate she is. Jade picks up on things fast—she's kennel trained, potty trained, and food motivated, making her both an eager learner and a breeze to live with. Her favorite way to pass the time is herding Jasper and seeing what kind of trouble she can keep him out of. Long walks, hiking, and a bit of adventure perk her right up, but she's equally happy to settle in with her humans at the end of the day. Jade does well with other dogs, cats, and all people. Her sociable and gentle temperament makes her a great fit for most families. She will be spayed before going home and is up to date on core vaccines, deworming, and flea/tick prevention. Jade is microchipped and ready for someone as steady as she is. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
