Jessie

My story

*Hospice Family Needed!* Meet Jessie! 9-year-old was entrusted to our care through the Final Wish Program after her mom passed away at the age of 96. She had adopted Jessie from Downey Shelter 4 years ago. Jessie is a shy, gentle girl who is doing her best to adjust after losing her person and home. Fortunately, Jessie went on an extended Frosted Fling, which gave her the opportunity to decompress while we have learned what she is like in a home setting. It was in her Fling home that she suddenly seemed to become ill, and tests showed that she had a mass on her spleen. The decision was made to remove her spleen, and resilient Jessie came through the surgery with flying colors. Sadly, as she was sailing through recovery, we learned the splenic mass was malignant. Jessie doesn't know she is sick, and she sure doesn't act like it! She is a happy sun-loving, beach-going girl who recently started playing with toys. As you can see in the video, she loves racing the other dog in her fling home to be first to the door (and treats). Here is more of what we have learned about this amazing dog: * Jessie likes people, dogs, and cats. She especially likes bigger dogs and is more confident and playful when she can follow one's lead. * She is very gentle with eating, on leash, taking treats * She is great while riding in the car and loves going for walks. * She now plays with toys and tries to get her fling buddy to play, too. * Jessie doesn't climb up on furniture but strategically positions herself near you to maximize petting opportunities! * Jessie gently puts her head in your lap or nudges your hand to ask for pets. Jessie currently lives in a Foster home where she is being showered with love and attention and given every comfort possible. If you would like to become her forever family for however long she has left, please email placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org.
