Jesse is starting to settle in. He is working hard this week on learning some nice house manners (no marking, please!) and feeling comfortable with all of these changes! Now that he is inside he seems to never want to go play outside. He scoots out quickly after some encouragement and then immediately wants to come back in. Sweet boy!
He is fine with cats, great with kids and puppies and other dogs. He likes men and women. And he really enjoys the indoor life!!!

Sweet Jesse James has come to stay with our Foster Family while he awaits his hip surgery. After surgery he will recover and rehab here, and we will use this blog to document his journey back to health... and to his Forever Family!

Jesse James' Story
Jesse original owners wanted him to be a working herding dog but report that he didn't get along with their other working dog. Since he couldn't work for them, they didn't want him anymore. He was rescued by our group in March, but he arrived with some cracked & broken teeth, an ear infection, and some suspiciously narrow hips. X-rays revealed that poor Jesse James' left hip needed a Femoral Head Osteotomy. Our group began trying to raise the money needed to cover the diagnostics, the surgery, and rehab, and Jesse is finally scheduled for the surgery on August 2nd.
