Jessie
About This Dog
Jessie's ideal home
Jessie can live with children over the age of 8 but CANNOT live with anyone who is pregnant or immunocompromised, due to her having tested positive for Leishmaniasis. Jessie must also be the only dog at home for this reason. She isn't yet house trained and will require all her basic training, as well as some further medical tests every six months.
Could you be Jessie's perfect match?
Jessie's life so far has been quite the ride. She was illegally smuggled from Belarus and seized at the port, but authorities managed to get her into quarantine kennels, where she had to spend a few months. Thankfully nothing seems to have fazed her and she's a bright and confident pup. At some point in her past she has been bitten by a sandfly and a parasite has been transmitted to Jessie, causing Leishmaniasis. She has been properly treated and there's no reason she should not live a full and heathy life, like any other pup. That said, Jessie will need antibody tests every six months, possibly for the rest of her life, and it does restrict who she can live with. The risk of infection to anyone is miniscule, but we should still take precaution. Jessie won't be able to live with anyone who is immunocompromised or pregnant. It also means Jessie cannot live with another pet, although she can still enjoy playtime and activities with other dogs, which she absolutely loves. Little Jess has taken everything in her stride, and after all she's been through, she really deserves a loving family.
