ADOPTED! Jesse - The Setter That Won't Set There

A Setter (that Won’t Set There) Blend

I’m a very friendly and lucky pup, with a whole new family to keep me entertained and to care for me.

A happy and energetic boy, Jesse’s whole being – with his wiggly body, shining eyes, and wagging tail – is eager to engage. Jesse came in from Schaghticoke on January 15, 2012. His favorite toys aren’t toys at all, but rather dogs and people. With a family who loves dog games and a good walk, Jesse is now the life of the party. Jesse loves to play, play, play and he also loves to cuddle, get belly rubs, and lean in for a hug. In fact, he’s so enamored with affection, he didn’t even feel his vaccination. He was too busy melting into a pool of satisfaction during a rub down in the vet’s lap.

ADOPTED!

At July’s Pet Adoption Day in Guilderland, Jesse was spotted from across the lawn by Josh Olcott, manager and chef at Bountiful Bread. While his compassionate company donated delicacies to prospective adopters, little did Josh know that he would be counted among them. Before the day was through, Josh returned with his whole family to spend more time with our furry friend. The following morning, Jesse was in his new home.

Because Kaden is top dog in this household, Jesse’s initial home visit was a trial. Sometimes people and dogs are truly perfect matches but dog to dog relationships need to time to unfold. Over the first few days we kept in touch with Josh as well as Marlene Wagner, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer volunteering her time and expertise with DHA. In no time, all was a go. Marlene gave Dog House Adoptions high marks for seeking help saying, “The fact that you guys are right there to support him is so amazing. This is how a rescue group should be.” We couldn’t be happier to see Jesse’s adoption work for the good of everybody involved.

At previous adoption clinics, Jesse sought the company of small children most. While he energetically jumped at the chance to be with them, he just as quickly leaned into the hug of a three-year-old child, gently absorbing all the young love his full body contact could connect with. Jesse now he has two young girls to call his own, and he knows exactly the right energy level to play with them. The girls will grow with Jesse as his family guides him into maturity, molding him into the perfect companion for many years and countless exciting adventures to come.

A note from Josh:

Jesse is a very very very smart dog. He is amazing, and he and my wife have been attached at the hip for the last 24 hours. We love him. He is such a great dog, and he hasn’t stopped wagging that tail since we got him so I think he loves us too!!
