Don’t be startled if you see what seems to be an auburn wolf walking around in HQ, it’s just Jessie, the most gorgeous husky this side of Muttville! She knows that most huskies are found in shades of gray, but that just isn’t the life for this gingery gal – Jessie is a shining star in a sea of mutts and just had to show off her one-of-a-kind status. Jessie is kind of like her counterpart in Toy Story – this loyal lady is a friend for life. She’s hoping to meet someone to fill the best friend shaped hole in her heart and spend the rest of her days going on adventures with them. If you’re looking for a big, beautiful partner in crime, Jessie is the girl of your dreams!
Here’s some notes from her foster:
Jessie is doing great! Her playfulness is starting to shine through after a few weeks here. She likes to prance and twirl around after doing her business in the backyard. She loves to make her bed just right. She’ll tap you on the leg when she’s looking for a good rubbing. She’s more confident on walks, still quiet, even as she watched a squirrel run across feet in front of her.
Her eyes mesmerize. Her coat is enveloping. Her walks range from very sniffy to propulsive patrolling. On a straight stretch of sidewalk, at a good pace, she’ll sometimes edge closer to your calves, like a partner on the sled dog team. Otherwise, not very into dogs. On walks, she spots other dogs from a distance and works her way well around them, no leash straining or vocalizations, just attentive avoidance in most cases. Short cordial interactions with a few dogs, but no lingering, following.
She explores every new space thoroughly, probing the edges even if it involves some tight squeezes. Sometimes she likes to rest underneath things – a chair, a bench, a dark closet under stairs. She pays curious attention to everything. She has not reacted to squirrels, strollers, vehicles. She’s been courteous to all people she’s met around me, though often not into chatting.
She’s been walking 3-5 miles a day and has been sleeping soundly through the night. She prefers chicken to beef. She doesn’t hear much, but does hear some. She’s very quiet; she’s made almost no sounds around me. After a hot walk, she may paw her water a bit, so there’s a dog towel at the ready.
She’s loves a good snuggle and has beautiful eyeliner.
