Jessie is a 9-month-old female Red Heeler mix with a heart as big as her personality. When she first came to us, Jessie was extremely nervous and unsure of the world around her. Thanks to the patience and love of her foster home, she’s absolutely thriving—and blossoming more every day. Jessie is still a bit shy around strangers, but once you earn her trust, it’s like flipping a switch. She transforms into a gigantic sweetheart and the ultimate velcro dog. This girl wants to be wherever her person is at all times. She sleeps curled up in bed next to her foster mom every night, loves to snuggle, and often dozes off with her head resting on her person’s shoulder. If you’re looking for a devoted companion, Jessie is your girl. Don’t let the sweetness fool you, though—Jessie has a playful, slightly bratty side too. She loves stealing toys from the other dogs and hoarding them into an impressive personal collection, often found proudly sitting on the couch surrounded by her treasures. She currently lives with four other dogs and gets along wonderfully with them. She loves playing outside, zooming around the backyard, and playing chase with her doggy friends. And when she’s excited? Get ready for the wiggliest butt you’ve ever seen. Jessie is fully potty-trained and crate-trained, and she does well with other dogs, cats, and kids. What she needs most is a patient, understanding home willing to give her the time and space to feel safe. In return, Jessie will reward her person with endless affection, loyalty, and love. If you’re ready to help a shy girl continue to gain confidence and show you just how incredible she is, Jessie is ready to be your best friend.
