Jesse

My story

Jesse - Chihuahua - Male - 2 years - www.twyla.org If you'd like to know more about this dog please visit our website at www.Twyla.org Meet Jesse: Jesse came to us with a history of being rescued from a parking lot "give-away" to routinely slipping out of his rescuers house. Jesse is an equal opportunity snuggle bug in bed and in the lounge chair while watching TV. He loves going on walks with his foster family either by himself or with his pack. He loves riding in cars, and enjoys wearing his sweaters and jackets in the cold. If you want him to move from a spot, all you have to do is pat the spot you want him to be in and he’ll go right to it. Jesse takes a while to warm up to people, but once he gets to know you and is comfortable with you, he follows you everywhere. He wasn't on the best diet in the past and is currently being treated for some skin allergy issues, but he takes his allergy medication very well with a smidge of cream cheese wrapped around it. He’s ruthless when it comes to stuffed toys and will probably do better with  toys without stuffing. He loves Nyla bones beef chewables. He uses his stairs to get on and off the bed. He’s not a fan of strangers and takes quite a while to warm up to them but once he accepts people, he is very loyal. Initially, he had a bit of separation anxiety, but now all his foster has to do is tell him to stay when they leave and he goes and does his thing (napping) until they return.  He is potty trained as long as he is taken him out every four hours. If that window is missed, he has been known to make a deposit, so crating while unsupervised is advised, especially in the beginning. He not an old dog, but he moves and behaves a bit like he's a grumpy old man. Jesse is looking for a rather quiet home where someone (and a Lap) is available most of the day. He lives parallel to other dogs and doesn't care if they are there or not. He would likely not welcome a young dog in his space insisting on playing. He is not recommend him for a family with young children. ***Please note: All dogs are fostered in private homes of volunteers, so to meet a dog please fill out an Adoption Application on our website (http://www.twyla.org/adopt/our-adoption-process) so we may setup a private meetup with the dog or coordinate for an Introduction at the next general Adoption Meet and Greet (as listed on our website: (http://www.twyla.org/upcoming-events), as not all dogs attend all Meet and Greets***

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Jesse, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
