HAPPY-GO-LUCKY PAIR LOOKING FOR LOVE JAX, age 12 & JILL, age 9 are like an old married couple, totally aware of each other all the time! Checking in, correcting each other, rough housing, cleaning eachother’s faces... they are totally in sync for better or worse! Both are extremely easy going, good natured Border Collies, just happy to be with people. Wherever you walk, they are nearby…wherever you sit, they are at your feet…clearly loved companions in their former life. Both lived together up until November 2024 with elderly guardians who passed, leaving them in the care of relatives who tried to make it work, but found their apartment life wasn’t ideal. We happily agreed to help and both dogs flourished with acres to explore at Glen Highland. They chase balls, they chase squirrels, they rest outside in the sun and watch the action, keeping track of everything. They are ‘plugged-in’ focused thinking Border Collies, back to their nature.
We would love to see this pair found a life other than rescue. While we adore them, they would love more attention since both are so people-centric…truly people are #1 on their list. THEY LOVE EVERYONE THEY MEET! What they need is simple:
What makes them challenging:
All Border Collies have specific traits and quirks and needs, though Jax & Jill are a dream pair. Their life together is totally worked out so they have a shorthand between them that comes from years of interaction. Jill and Jax are well matched and trot around happily wherever they explore together! |

**We investigated hip surgery options for Jill with a renown orthopedic specialist and it turns she is not a good candidate. Mother nature has redesigned her body as ‘it is’ and disturbing it with surgery comes with too many risks. We have concluded that pain management is the key and working well for Jill now so she is really mobile. She will ’self-limit’ when needed and rest herself. Jax & Jill occupy our office with two couches, rugs, lamps, numerous dog beds etc..a real home so Jax makes himself VERY at home every minute of the day positioned on the TOP of the couch, pushing the seat cushions right where he wants them to be comfy… This is the morning find…waking him up…and the 2nd shot is a YAWN! Life is good….two donated couches are doing a good job providing happiness. |
