About jess:

​

Jess is a 5year old Border type. She's looking for a rural, quieter home location with lovely country walks on the doorstep. Secure good sized garden essential. She must be an only pet and with owners that have lots of love, patience and time to dedicate. She can be left reasonable periods but would prefer a home with someone around more often than not. We're not looking to place Jess with children as she enjoys a less hectic quieter life. Jess is house trained and travels well. Just about crate trained. Jess does sleep on the end of her humans bed at night and this has always been so. She's a very affectionate sweet girl once you gain her trust and loves cuddles and fuss. Jess does take a little time to trust fully but is easily won round with a game of ball or tasty treats and from there you're set for life. Jess needs a calm, confident and experienced terrier owner. Jess is a proper adventure dog. She absolutely LOVES being outdoors exploring, hiking, swimming, chasing a ball, chewing a stick. She's fit and active and needs an outdoorsy owner that will enjoy exploring the great outdoors with her. She is the most fabulous, fun and lovely companion. After a nice walk Jess settles fine at home. She loves a natural chew , has a collection of favourite balls that keep her entertained, enjoys snoozing and belly rubs. Jess pulls a little with excitement but is generally good on lead. She doesn't go off lead unless in a secure area. Jess does not like other dogs up in her personal space . She passes other dogs without issue but has no desire to interact and needs an owner that will advocate for her space. Jess is very slowly building up to being handled for care and grooming. This is not something that she was happy with on arrival due to some very bad experiences previously. This will be discussed in more detail with adopters. Jess needs a very kind and patient approach when being handled for such things.

Overall Jess is an actual angel. Her start to life was not the best and she struggled in the very wrong environment with inexperienced owners. Since arriving in rescue she has learnt to trust and from there the most amazing personality has emerged......a loving , affectionate, sweet ,silly adventurous and happy girl. In the right environment an easy going girl that is a joy to have around.
