Dog of the Week: Food Motivated

Would give her all the treats

Name: Jesse 

Breed: Golden Retriever
From: China 

Rating: 14/10

Jesse was originally rescued from a meat plant in China. She was brought to the US where Rowan fostered her! This is what’s known as a ‘foster fail,’ where the dog was originally a foster, but rather than moving onto a permanent family, her foster family adopted her instead! Rowan, however, is still fostering other dogs, and Jesse meets every foster that goes through the house. Rowan doesn’t have any foster dogs at the moment, but Jesse does live with Rowan’s four cats. Jesse is also one smart pup! She knows this trick where she will pick up and put away her toys! Also, she knows how to open doors using the handicap button! She works with Rowan in the SHARE (previously SAPR) Office in the Gray Campus Center down the hall from commons. If you ever feel like playing with a dog, pass by the office and give her some pets! She would love to play tug-of-war with you! There’s also Pupper’s Playtime at the SU every Friday from 11 a.m. to noon. Dogs from all over come to hang out, but if you don’t have a dog, you can still come and play with some pups!
