My story

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

Hi I’m Jackson! Nice to meet you!

I’m an 11-year-old border collie/greyhound, but I still play like a puppy and have a heart full of loyalty. I weigh 48 pounds, love a good nap on the couch or bed, and still have the agility to run, play, and explore. I used to live on a quiet rural property with the best human dad, where we had all the space in the world. After he passed away, life changed. I moved into town with my other human, but the busy streets and close neighbors have been hard on both of us.

I can get a little overexcited when I see dogs, deer, or other surprises on walks — I might bark or pull on leash because I’m just not sure what to do with all that energy! In safe, off-leash areas, I relax and can share space nicely with other dogs (as long as I’m not feeling left out of the people fun).

I’m very people-focused and get excited to see kids, but with my strength and excitement, I might be too much in a home with little ones. My human loves me very much but can’t give me the exercise I need anymore.

My ideal home? A quiet place in the country or a peaceful neighborhood, with an adult or two who want a loyal, energetic companion and have time to spend with me. I'd love a place with no kids and no other pets — so I can focus on loving you!

Sound like a good fit? Please apply! I've been at SDRO a long time and would love to find my second lease on life.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster-based, volunteer-driven rescue. All SDRO dogs available for adoption are listed on our website. The listing includes information to help you decide if one of our dogs is right for your household. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please complete an online application. If your home suits the dog's needs, we'll call you to discuss your application and ask any follow-up questions. Our experienced adoption coordinator will discuss the dog’s needs with you to help determine if your home is the right fit. Since we do not operate a shelter and all our dogs are in foster care, a meet-and-greet will be your first opportunity to meet the dog face-to-face.
