Jeffery is a wildly affectionate and connected wiggly, cheerful, energetic boy that comes with an awesome chill button! He is young in his mind and heart, that’s for sure! Jeff is one of those dogs who is clearly mature in a lot of ways but when you break out the toys, he becomes a puppy all over again!! With his irresistible, soulful bug brown eyes, Jeff is not shy about making eye contact with his people. When you are together, he will be fully engaged with you no matter what you are doing. Super playful with an active spirit, Jeffery is a one of a kind, super cool dog. He is shaped like a sturdy whippet or mini greyhound with a little working dog in there too.. maybe smooth coat border collie or lab?? We are so intrigued by Jeff we actually have his DNA sent out to the lab to see what exactly is in this awesome dog! |
Jeff gives the best greetings EVER!
Jeff greets his known, trusted people with a TON of AFFECTION! When he is happy, there is no containing it. His entire body wiggles as he politely throws himself into us! He’ll give a million licks and a million more “love leans” while demanding butt scratches! |

Jeff loves chasing toys and he will literally play fetch all day long if you let him! (BORDER COLLIE BOY!!) He has a strong ability to work and is incredibly athletic. He can be quite focused and serious about his fetch game.. he will literally not stop dropping the ball at your feet and sprinting off to retrieve it unless you put the toy away! Be sure to scroll down and check out more videos of Jeff in all his fetching glory!! Jeff would be a perfect match for an active household that can keep his mind and body fit. He is super engaged when walking on the leash, too, and knows a bounty of obedience skills! He knows to heel nicely at your left side and automatically sit when you stop in place. Jeff thrives off of partnership and is really happy working together with his handler or person.. whether that's doing agility, playing fetch, working on some obedience or casually hiking in the woods, he is happiest when he is in company. Even with his ability to be a high powered fetching machine, Jeff relaxes quite quickly when indoors. He generally matches energy.. meaning if the environment around him is chaotic, he will be more juiced up. If his surroundings are calm, he will settle down and be calm as well. As I write this, Jeff is happily lounging in a sun spot on the floor gazing out the window doors. When someone walks by he’ll wag his tail, maybe get up to get a better look as who is around. And then eventually settle back down again. So peaceful! Jeffery can be a bit insecure at times and it’ll show when meeting new people or if encountering something entirely new to him. He'll assess the situation and take a few steps back to provide some space for him to feel safe. Sometimes he’ll let out a bark or two to let you know he would like some space. After some "get to know" time with treat exchange, Jeff will loosen up and trust quickly! He's a young, super eager and smart boy. He learns really fast and has a brain that needs to be worked and challenged. Jeff is not a sit at home all day couch potato! You might see a lot of pictures of Jeff at the park or on the park benches... these are from routine outings that Handler Olivia brings him on! We like to make sure young, impressionable dogs like Jeff are getting off the farm and keeping up with socialization of the "real world"! Jeff does super great in the car and LOVES his outings!! |
Poor Jeff was completely skin and bones when he was brought to the public shelter we pulled him from. It took some time for us to put weight on him and get a handle on his stools. With a healthy diet, wellness plan and some guidance from our vet, Jeff is now completely healthy and maintaining a great weight.
Jeffery gets along pretty well with other dogs and is an all around great doggie! He generally gets along very well with young playful female dogs. A challenging male dog might prove to be a bit much for Jeff. So we are sure to match him up with dogs that are going to suit his play style and be non-confrontational when greeting. Jeff loves to be with people and involved in the action! His best buds are Cora, Jewel, Roxy and especially Brownie!
Because of Jeff's insecurities, we recommend he goes to a home with children 14 and up and no cats.

Check out Jeff’s before and after..
Check out Jeff’s before and after.. when we were asked to pull Jeff, this was the photo we were sent. He’s so sad looking.. feeble, skinny, scared and alone. Well all of that is behind him now! After a long road to recovery from his under nourished start to life, Jeff is finally at a healthy weight and getting stronger and more confident by the day. He’s wiggly, always HAPPY and so ready for his permanent home! We adore this boy and his infectious joy!
Jeff has great IN-HOME manners!!

Jeff LOVES to FETCH!!
Jeff is what we would call a fetch-a-holic! He will play fetch all day long if you let him. His most favorite toy is a big jolly ball or football shaped squeaker! Jeff also gives the best greetings; he gives off huge circular tail wags and ridiculously adorable body wiggles! He is so easily entertained and is his happiest when he is simply hanging with his people and fav toys! Check out the videos to see him in action!
