Australian Shepherd and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Ringwood, Illinois

Jet is fostered in Moberly, Missouri.

This handsome guy is Jet. He was a former dumped dog, now looking for a home of his own and people who love him. He is estimated to be 1 - 2 years old and weighs approximately 40-45 lbs. His photos don't do him justice. This guy is such a looker!

Jet was dumped in rural Missouri and befriended a family's dogs. While he made himself known to the family pets first, he eventually warmed up to them (people). However, as he started getting more comfy with the place he was staying, he started chasing the neighborhood cattle when left on his own.

Jet has a FANTASTIC personality. He gets along marvelously with dogs of all sizes and even cats. Jet is crate trained and house trained, and is even doing well with his house manners, being left alone without the crate. He is fabulous in the car - not one peep. Long car rides still make him a little nauseous but he is starting to enjoy them more. Jet is a quick learner and already knows some basic commands.

Jet can be a tad shy at first, but he is becoming a more confident dog and coming out of his shell. He has a such a wonderful temperament that he would make a great addition to just about any household. If you're looking for an even tempered boy to join your family, please check out Jet.

Jet is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.
