Jessie Boxer & Retriever Mix Bellingham, WA

Hi, my name is Jessie! Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Sweet, sensitive, smart, food-motivated, reserved at first

-Can Live with Kids: Potentially older, respectful, dog-savvy kids that can read/respect her body language and not overwhelm her. At this time we're recommending ages 14+

-Can Live with Cats: According to her previous owner, Jessie "slept with, played with, and was also afraid of" the cat in her previous home. She will need slow, supervised introductions to any new cats to ensure they all get along.

-Can Live with Dogs: We are still evaluating Jessie to see how she does with other dogs here at the shelter. Ask staff if you'd like to know more!

-Can do Apartment Living: Yes, with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Although a home with a yard would be much preferred!

-Potty Trained: Appears to be!

-Bite History: No

-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: No

-Energy Level: Medium

-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes-- spay/microchip

-Additional Information: Jessie is a sweet, sensitive lady who would do well in a quieter household without too many unknowns. She was a little shutdown/reserved when she first arrived but has since warmed up and made a lot of new friends :) Jessie LOVES food and will happily show off her tricks (sit, shake, down) for a treat. Here's what Jessie's previous owner had to say about her: "She is so loyal and loving when she is comfortable! I love that she is a goofball. She is an amazing family dog, or a great buddy for 1 person too. She needs to trust her owner to be able to be her awesome loving self. She has only known our family, so she is scared of new situations." If Jessie seems like she'd be a good fit for you, submit an application to schedule an introduction!
