Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (long coat). Hi , my name is Jessie and I am a very special girl. My human best friend sadly passed away and because of that I ended up alone. When I first got to the shelter I was very very very nervous , and to be honest I still am. There are certain people here that I have grown to like because they take things very slow with me. I do not like it when someone stands over me and attempts to mess with my neck/leash/collar. I seem to be okay if you are down on my level. I do walk well on the leash and enjoy exploring on long walks. Sometimes I show my soft side and let certain people at the shelter love on me and have even crawled in a lap once or twice. But I am still very skittish. I do keep my kennel very tidy and have good manners when it comes to other dogs. The people here at the shelter want me to let you know that I won't be adopted out to just anybody. I need somebody who will take there time with me and get to know me , let me understand them. Because of this anybody who is interested in me will be required to come and visit with me a few times while supervised to make sure it is the perfect fit. If you think we would could along I would love the chance to meet you and win your heart. I am an amazing dog deep down and so badly want to be in my own home again.

Overview:
The Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog, originating from the Anglo-Scottish border region where they were bred for their exceptional sheep-gathering abilities. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs with an athletic build, typically weighing between 30-55 pounds, and feature a double coat that can be rough or smooth, appearing in a wide variety of colors, though black and white is most common. Their alert, intense gaze is a hallmark of the breed. Temperamentally, Border Collies are renowned for their incredible trainability, eagerness to please, and boundless energy, making them excellent candidates for dog sports like agility and obedience. However, this high drive means they require significant mental and physical stimulation; without proper outlets, they can become bored and destructive. While loyal and affectionate with their families, their herding instincts can sometimes translate to nipping at children or other pets if not managed, making them generally better suited for experienced owners who can dedicate time to their training and exercise needs. They are definitely not suited for apartment living and thrive in homes with large, secure yards and active lifestyles. Health-wise, they are generally robust, but can be prone to certain genetic conditions such as Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), hip and elbow dysplasia, and Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS).
