Jessie is a very playful, fun-loving dog. She can hike for hours, and loves to retrieve balls and wrestle with her squeaky toys. She is 3 years old, housebroken, crate trained, and weighs just over 7 lbs.

She is currently being fostered in a home with 3 other small dogs, and a cat. However, she shows NO interest in the other animals, and would probably prefer being the only pet in the household.

Jessie is a very playful, fun-loving dog. She can hike for hours, and loves to retrieve balls and wrestle with her squeaky toys. She is 3 years old, housebroken, crate trained, and weighs just over 7 lbs.

She is currently being fostered in a home with 3 other small dogs, and a cat. However, she shows NO interest in the other animals, and would probably prefer being the only pet in the household.

She is inquisitive, smart as a whip, and very toy and food motivated. However, Jessie is selective about the humans she likes, and does not tolerate rough or invasive handling from people that she does not know or trust.

With me, she is an absolute delight. She is attentive, affectionate, and playful. She stays close by when walking on a trail or in the woods off leash, and is very eager to learn new tricks. She does suffer from separation distress, and will whimper and whine when left in the car, or in an unfamiliar place, but is not destructive (she does not like riding in the car). However, when I leave for work and leave her at home she is quiet. Her strong desire to bond with one person would make her an ideal companion for a single person who enjoys having a devoted canine companion.

Please see our other available dogs at Grateful Dogs Rescue. Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial medical and other costs in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we must charge an adoption fee. The adoption fee for Jessie is $200.

If you are interested in adopting Jessie, please complete our online adoption application. One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area.
