Original:
Jessie and house mate Stevie were taken from their previous home due to neglect. They went to a local shelter who contacted MAESSR. One of our wonderful MAESSR volunteers drove the extra hours needed to pull this pair from the rural shelter.
Jessie has been wonderful in her foster home. From her appearance, it is doubtful she was ever in a house previously. She has decided that the best place in the world is INSIDE. Jessie is crate-trained. She has not had any accidents in her foster home yet, but they are being very vigilant with her. Jessie needs to learn all of the proper rules for being an inside girl. She is working hard on it now. Jessie loves to cuddle and be held.
Jessie’s foster mom started giving her a haircut only to find that there were many bald spots under the hair she had. The vet is confident that given a proper diet and love, her hair will come back wonderfully. When you look at the pictures, please remember that Jessie may look a little moth-eaten now, but that won’t be for long!
Please check back later for more updates on this sweetie as she expands her horizons.
