Esme's Story

Say hi to Esme, a 77-pound sweetheart around 7 years old who has quietly become one of our biggest success stories. When she first arrived, she was very shy and unsure, needing time and patience before she felt comfortable.<br/><br/>It took about two weeks before she truly relaxed with staff, but once she did, her loving personality bloomed. Now she buries her face into the people she trusts and requests the very best booty scratches. If you stop petting her too soon, she may offer a little dramatic commentary to remind you she wasn't finished yet. Esme forms deep bonds and loves wholeheartedly once she feels secure. She simply needs a home willing to give her that same patience in the beginning.
