SSIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Best Guess for Age: 1 year as of October 2023 SEX: Female
Approximate Weight: 40 lbs
Gets Along With: Nessie does well with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog. We haven't seen her with cats but she can be tested. Due to her shyness, she may not go to a home with children under the age of 12.
Currently Living at: DC area foster home
Special Adoption Considerations: Nessie is shy and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog to show her the ropes. Because of her shy personality, we do not recommend her for a home with children under the age of 12.
Nessie is Looking For: This sweet mama was just about a year old when she gave birth to her five puppies. She did a great job - such a good momma - and they went off to find their forever homes. Now Nessie is ready to get her own humans!
About Nessie: Nessie's story began with shyness, but oh, how she has blossomed! With love and care, Nessie has gained the confidence to embrace walks and adventures. From a timid arrival to a pup ready for the world, Nessie's transformation is a testament to her resilience.
Lovebug Alert
Nessie isn't just a dog; she's a certified lovebug! Her short tail becomes a rapid metronome of excitement when she's thrilled. If you're in need of some serious cuddle therapy, Nessie is your go-to companion. Picture yourself on the couch with Nessie snuggled up next to you, reveling in head scratches and sharing cozy moments.
Mellow Girl
Around the house, Nessie is chill and mellow. She enjoys sitting and observing her surroundings, soaking in the serenity. When it's independent playtime, she's content to chew on a favorite toy, showcasing her ability to find joy in solo activities.
Playful Pup
Nessie's social side shines when it's playtime. She loves to chase, tug, and wrestle with other dogs, making her the life of any doggy playdate. Her playful spirit is contagious, and she's always up for a good time with her furry friends.
Food Motivated
Nessie is a culinary enthusiast! Whether it's kibble, treats, or a gourmet meal, she's all in. Currently on the journey of learning basic commands, Nessie's love for food makes training sessions both enjoyable and rewarding.
Still Building Her Braves
Despite her progress, Nessie still carries a bit of anxiety and requires a patient and encouraging environment to reach her full potential. With love and understanding, she promises to be a loyal and loving addition to a home willing to nurture her journey.

What My Foster Says About Me: Nessie is a super sweet pup! She came to me very shy, but she’s gained a lot of confidence! She has the cutest tiny tail that wags rapidly when she’s happy, like when I greet her after coming home from work. Nessie loves to cuddle with me on the couch and receive pets and head scratches. She is calm around the house and likes to sit and observe, or chew a toy independently. She also likes to chase, tug, and wrestle with other dogs. Nessie likes food and treats of all kinds and she knows her “sit” command well.
At first she was reluctant to go out on walks, but now she enjoys walking around the neighborhood and taking in the new sights and sounds. She goes into her crate easily when I toss a treat in there, and relaxes with no issues. Nessie is just a little lovebug who deserves a kind, patient human to call her own!
