Jessie

Hello there! I'm Jessie and I'm officially accepting applications for my forever family.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR JESSIE
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM 
https://forms.gle/Pteo6tbRqasECq287

My Ideal Home:
• I'll need daily exercise - walks, park or beach trips, and playtime in the backyard will keep me happy and healthy.
• Ongoing training and guidance with basic manners will help me grow into a well-behaved companion.
• I want to be part of the family indoors - not left outside without interaction.
• As a social and playful pup, I may really enjoy attending doggy daycare.
• I absolutely love other dogs! I'm energetic and playful, so I'd thrive with a dog who matches my enthusiasm.
• Secure fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent) is essential to keep me safe.
• I'd love plenty of toys and mental enrichment to keep my busy mind occupied.
• A good-quality dry food diet will help support my dental health.
• Regular grooming and brushing will keep me looking and feeling my best.
• Most importantly, I'm looking for lots of love and attention from my family.
• When I get excited, I can be a little bouncy and mouthy, so any children in the home would need to feel comfortable and confident around an energetic, enthusiastic dog joining the family.
• Training, training, training - it's essential that I receive consistent guidance in every aspect of my life so I can become the very best companion as I mature.
• Because I may have had a sheltered start and can be shy in new situations, continued socialisation will really help build my confidence. I'm already becoming braver at the shelter!
• I was unsure around cats at the shelter and may become more inquisitive as my confidence grows. If I join a home with a cat, they'll need to be dog-savvy and introductions must be gradual and well managed.

My Paw-some Perks:
• I'm a very playful, happy pup with the cutest little wiggle-butt when I'm excited.
• I'm highly food motivated, which makes training lots of fun and helps me learn quickly.
• I'm exuberant and full of beans, always ready for fun and adventure
• I'm very social and happy to hang out with other friendly dogs - total social butterfly!
• I absolutely love attention, cuddles, hugs, kisses and head scratches

Training & Support Needs:
• I haven't had any formal training yet, so I'll need help with all my basic manners and life skills. The good news is I love food and toys, which will make positive training lots of fun and rewarding for me.
• I've never been allowed indoors before and I can become a bit timid when indoors, but I would truly love to be included as part of the family and spend time inside with my people, especially cuddled on the lounge or bed
• Once I'm settled, I can walk nicely, but I may pull if something grabs my attention or if I decide I'd like to head in a different direction. I can also be strong or a bit skittish if startled, so a harness or head halter would really help while I continue my training.
• My recall needs work, as I can sometimes ignore you if I'm distracted - this is something we'll need to practice together.
• I can be a little bouncy when excited, but consistent training will help me learn calmer behaviours.
• I'm not housetrained yet, as I haven't previously been allowed inside, so I'll need guidance and consistency to learn.
• I've lived in the same home my whole life and had very little exposure to the outside world. Everything is quite new to me, so I'll need a patient family to gently socialise me and show me that the world isn't such a scary place.

Please Note: You'll only be able to meet Jessie if your application is approved. Successful applicants will be invited to the shelter for a meet-and-greet, and any dogs currently in the home must attend as well
