Sweet, sweet Nessie, who came into rescue early this year at 8 years-old.  She is a retired breeder from an Amish farm in Ohio and she adores her retirement.  Nessie is a larger girl, 22.5 lbs, as of a few days ago, who does not realize she is heavy and begs to be picked up.   Nessie likes nothing more than to snuggle up to her human.  She especially loves to put her head under your chin or on your shoulder and will stay there as long as you let her.  Nessie follows her foster mother everywhere she goes, always ready for a kind word, pet, treat, or dinner.

Nessie is house trained to a certain extent.  She does not tell you she needs to go out, and wants to be carried outside, unless it is her choice to be going out.  If taken out on a regular basis, she is quite willing to meet her needs outside.  She would prefer not to stay out without her human.  Nessie will sleep in a crate and stays in a crate while her foster mother is not home.  There is never an issue for her going into  it when offered a Charlie Bear treat to do so.

While Nessie is an older girl, she still will, occasionally dance across the floor, or take a toy to play with it.  Nessie gets along with everyone, human and canine.  I have never heard her growl.  She is a good girl.

Nessie requires a securely fenced yard attached to the home and another canine companion in the home.  She has been spayed, had dental care and is up to date on vaccinations.  No serious health issues were noted at her thorough exam.  Her location is in Hudson Valley, NY so please consider the location before applying since we do not approve long distant adoptions, do not ship dogs or put on planes.  First complete an adoption application, then contact Mary Coyne, luckystarrescue@gmail.com of your interest.
