My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Caution, Dog in picture is sassier than he may appear! If you've ever wanted the equivalent of a teenager in dog form then this could be the guy for you. This teddy bear-looking young gentleman is Jim! Jim is a little over a year old and came to the Kentucky Humane Society when his owner could no longer care for him. Our best guess is a Border Collie mix. His herding tendencies come out in play and he loves to methodically move his playmates to wherever he deems appropriate. His friends don't seem to mind though and he absolutely loves playing with other dogs. He would do great in a home with other friendly dogs to wear him out. Jim is a super friendly guy but likes his opinions to be known. He will remind you with a nice big bork that you didn't really want to eat that whole egg mcmuffin and he will take the remainder off your hands. Watching too much tv? Jim will tell you when it's time to get up and pay attention to him. He's a talented interior designer and will redecorate by moving pillows and blankets to create a more feng shui environment. Are you eco conscious? Jim's favorite activity is recycling cardboard boxes and he will happily shred them up for you. He loves to find treasures and bring them to you with a "look but don't touch" kind of attitude. Jim has lived with cats and although he's interested, he exercises extreme caution around them as he's found some to be very poky. Because of his big personality Jim is approved to go to an adult only home that has dog experience and is willing to work on his manners and training. An ideal home for Jim is one with patience, love, and a good sense of humor. Jim is neutered, microchipped, and utd on vaccinations.

Jim is apart of our shelter behavior program. If you are interested in meeting him, please first submit an online adoption application located at www.kyhumane.org/dog-app. Once we have received your adoption application, our behavior team will follow up and provide you with more information.
