Jessie
Jessie is a gentle, big 'ol girl who will be ten years old in July. She weighs about 70 pounds, which is normal for her because she is a large German shorthair. She enjoys a run in an open field so that she can really stretch out and romp like a puppy. Jessie listens to commands well, and likes knowing the rules, as well as getting praise for doing something well. Her tail is a blur of wags when she carries around her favorite toy. After a good run, Jessie will settle down in her bed for a long nap. Jessie enjoys her meals, and loves to sit next to the breakfast table and share toast with her family. She is an indoor pet and is very people oriented. She will vocalize her excitement when someone comes into the kitchen, where she spends most of her indoor time in her foster home. She shares her space with two other German shorthairs and a cat. In her previous home she was the only dog, and this would be ideal, because she wants to be the Alpha. She can get feisty with other dogs; but knowing this trait, can be dealt with. Jessie travels well, but needs a boost getting into the back of a pickup truck if the jump is too high. Jessie is a great companion, and a very sweet girl!
