Jessie was rescued in honor of our veterinarian Sarah Cutlers dog JASMINE who sadly passed away this summer.. Sarah named Jessie.. and it suits her perfectly! Jessie is a graceful, elegant extremely gentle and sweet girl.. As fearful as she can be she just tries to disappear when faced with novelty! That could mean shrinking herself into the teeniest ball.. hiding under whatever she can find.. or is out on a walk .. attempting to flee. Shes going to be fine.. no... WAY more than fine.. as Jessie LOVES other dogs and seeks comfort from her canine friends and her new human friends... she wants very much to be a part of a pack..
When outdoors with trusted friends Jessie comes alive with all her doggie instincts.. she loves to run .. everything about her goes from timid to vibrant when she is free to run.. she has a busy nose is very visual and actually enjoys being stroked with a smooth and soothing hand! Check out the video below to see Jessie at her most comfortable and happy state.. to see the fearful little dog blossom into a long stride sprint with her doggie friends can bring a tear to your eye!
While we are listing Jessie as adoptable, we do want to keep her for a bit until she has truly relaxed into who she is.. this will require time and many repetitions of happy outcomes.. she worries for example about approaching cars.. or people in the distance.. For her being out in settings where she will encounter scary things with a group of chill dogs changes everything!! We dont want to rush her progress in any way.. her life right now is all about relaxation, connection and trust.. She needs to believe we are listening to her and minding all her concerns.
Theres not one of us, human or canine that doesn't love this delicate and dear girl!!
