Meet Jefferey — the little miracle with the gentle soul.

Once upon a time, a tiny puppy named Jefferey was found all alone in a ditch, too weak to move and unable to see the world around him. But with love, care, and a whole lot of determination, Jefferey slowly found his way back — his legs got strong, his eyes brightened, and his spirit came alive. Today, he’s a happy, healthy boy who reminds everyone that even the smallest spark can grow into something amazing. ✨

Jefferey is a Border Collie mix, but don’t let that breed fool you — he’s got the zen soul of a golden retriever. He loves to romp around the yard with his dog friends and chase toys for a bit, but he’s just as happy to curl up and relax next to you. His energy level is gentle, his manners are lovely, and his “baby shark” air-chomps will make you laugh every time. 🦈💨

He’s crate trained, house trained (with a little help from routine reminders!), and travels like a pro in the car. Jefferey can be shy at first, especially with new people or quick movements, but he’s slowly learning that the world is full of kindness. He does best when given space, patience, and reassurance — and he truly shines when he has another friendly dog to help him feel safe and show him the ropes.

Jefferey gets along beautifully with dogs and cats, and would do best in a calm home with older, dog-savvy kids (the little ones can be a bit scary for him). He may also have a touch of poor night vision, so he appreciates soft lighting and a cozy bedtime routine.

💛 Jefferey’s dream home: gentle voices, patient hearts, and maybe a confident dog buddy to guide him. In return, he’ll bring endless sweetness, quiet love, and a story of resilience you’ll never forget.

Could you be the one to give this brave little survivor his happily ever after? If you would like to adopt Jeffery, please complete an application on our website: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Go meet their pets

We do not host adoption events. We do bring some of our dogs to fundraisers to meet potential adopters who then must complete the full adoption process.

More about this rescue

We are a small foster based rescue who focuses on helping areas of overpopulation and dogs in desperate situations. We are run by dedicated volunteers and generally only have a handful of dogs in care at one time so we can focus on exactly what they need to feel better and find a loving home.
