About This Dog

Jam's ideal home

Jam is a handsome 5-year-old Border Collie with a confident personality and a zest for life. He absolutely loves his walks and gets wonderfully excited as soon as he sees his lead, always eager to head out and explore the world. Although he's not a fan of water, he enjoys playing with his tennis balls, a game of tug, and will happily bring his favourite toy back for another throw. Jam loves carrying his treasured toys around with him and enjoys showing off his clever tricks, especially when rewarded with tasty pieces of apple or cucumber. He is instantly friendly with new people and can become a little overexcited, sometimes jumping up to say hello, but his affectionate nature quickly shines through. He settles well in his crate when left and is fully housetrained, making him an easy companion to have around the home.

Could you be Jam's perfect match?

Jam is looking for an active home that can continue to give him plenty of exercise, enrichment and companionship. He is a very loyal boy who loves being around children and could happily live with sensible primary school-aged children. Due to a negative experience with another dog when he was a puppy, Jam is reactive towards dogs and would be happiest in a home where his adopters are committed to managing this and helping him feel safe on walks. In return, you'll gain a devoted, fun-loving companion who will fill your days with games, adventures and endless loyalty.
