About Remi Jean

Remi Jean is a 4-year-old spayed Border Collie who lives for partnership, learning, and having a job to do. She’s all sharp intellect, loyalty, and classic work ethic—the textbook Border Collie in so many ways. Every morning, Remi wakes up ready to find her purpose and work alongside her people. She does well with dogs, children, and even cats though she sometimes likes to “herd” her feline pals, always gently. She doesn’t want a life built around the couch. Remi craves activity, training, and daily engagement—whether that’s agility, hiking, farm chores, trick work, or just learning something new. When thunderstorms roll in, she gets nervous and wants company and comfort from her human. Remi will need an experienced owner who understands the mind of a Border Collie: when she’s bored or under-stimulated, she gets creative at breaching fences in search of work—less escape artist and more problem-solver seeking purpose. Her background is tinged with heartbreak: Remi ended up surrendered after escaping her previous home repeatedly, not because she was bad, but because she was under-challenged. Now, she’s safe and thriving in Houston, TX, searching for someone who really understands what she needs. Remi deserves a life not just of safety but adventure, genuine partnership, and meaningful purpose. If you’re looking for a smart, loyal, and affectionate sidekick up for adventure, Remi Jean is waiting to meet you. She is fostered in Texas, but can be adopted nationwide.
