Jesse is a sweet and charming senior pup looking for a loving retirement home where he can enjoy his golden years. At his core, Jesse is the perfect gentleman-polite, affectionate, and devoted to his people. While he’s tolerant of some dogs, he prefers smaller canine friends and needs slow introductions. Larger dogs can bring out some reactive behaviors, so careful management will be important. Jesse isn’t a fan of cats and would do best in a feline-free home.

Don’t let his senior status fool you-Jesse still has plenty of pep in his step! He loves long walks, hikes, and playtime, and he’s always up for an adventure with his favorite humans. Whether exploring the great outdoors or snuggling up at home, Jesse’s zest for life is infectious.

Jesse thrives in a quiet environment with a structured routine. He would do best in a home with an experienced dog owner who can provide stability, manage slow introductions to other dogs, and work on his reactivity toward large dogs. He also needs controlled introductions to unfamiliar visitors to help him feel safe and secure. Due to past experiences, his new family must be aware of all incidents in previous foster homes and be ready to continue his training and support.

This gentle old soul has a touch of separation anxiety, so he’s hoping to find someone who works from home, is retired, or loves having a loyal companion by their side. While he carries a few “distinguished gentleman” lumps and bumps, Jesse has been given a clean bill of health by his vet and is ready to embark on this next chapter of life.
