Jessie lost her home when her person was diagnosed with advanced cancer and needed urgent help. She's settled into a foster home in South Carolina and shows all the hallmarks of a dedicated companion—loyal, affectionate, and calm. Jessie is a six-year-old, healthy, spayed female, up to date on vaccinations, with a short black coat and a large, sturdy build. She is house and crate trained, and bonds deeply with her primary person. Jessie does well with people and is generally relaxed at home. She gets along with cats and can settle with resident dogs if introduced gradually, but she'll need careful introductions to both. When it comes to unfamiliar dogs out in public, Jessie may react and should be handled with care on walks. A fenced yard is ideal for her, but she’ll need supervision outdoors. Jessie tolerates crating except during thunderstorms, when she gets anxious—calming supplements or a thunder vest could help. A video chat or meet-and-greet can be arranged for qualified adopters or fosters, and transport options are available. Jessie is ready to put down roots with someone she can trust. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
