Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Dessi had an awful start in life! At the tender of age of about 10 months, she found herself in the shelter. To make it worse, she had a prolapsed rectum, was emaciated and had horrific skin issues. After surgeries and lots of TLC, we can confidently say Dessi is one of the happiest dogs we’ve ever met. She genuinely is just happy to exist and wants to be near her people. Dessi has learned her name and the “sit” command and is a very smart little girl! ! We’re working on house training and taking treats gently. She’s learning a couple hand signals and is very food motivated. She LOVES blueberries.
She is about a year old but she’s got the heart of a puppy. If she’s quiet, you should probably go find her. A bit mischevous as she is learning to be a carefree, loved puppy...FINALLY! Dessi has done amazing with every dog she’s met and she’s extremely playful. We are requiring a fenced yard and another confident dog in the home for this sweet girl! No younger children as she is very puppish. If you are looking for a fun, little love bug, go to the link below to fill out an online application. We just like to know a little about you prior to a meet and greet.
