About Nessie

Currently, she hasn’t been tested with cats or children. Nessie loves her walks and is quite curious about the world around her. She will alert-bark at passersby and other dogs but responds well to training and verbal cues, especially when treats are involved.

Still, she does her business when on a leash. Nessie is a gentle soul looking for a kindred spirit who will shower her with love and attention. She will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
