Lessie

Lessie is marked as Special Needs because she needs a special person. She doesn’t have any medical issues. Lessie has had an unfortunate beginning. She, her sister, and her mother were abandoned. Something horrible in this sweet girl’s history has made her insecure and easily frightened. This quirky girl needs a kind patient human that is experienced with positive reinforcement training of anxious, insecure dogs. She is goofy, smart, and endearing and deserves to live her best life. She just needs the right person to help her overcome her fears. Her former foster said she is playful and was always cartoonishly falling off the couch while playing, only to bounce back up like nothing happened, and to also hope you didn’t notice. She does really well with other dogs and loves the beach. She is potty trained. She has walked on the leash but would benefit from positive reinforcement leash training to help her with ignoring things she is fearful of. She would do best with an active person with a fenced large yard or ranch, to be able to run and enjoy life. To see more about Lessie: adogsnewlife.org/lessie We adopt the majority of our dogs to the US and Canada. We use Petfinder to reach a greater audience for our dogs. The general process for adopting a dog, includes you submitting an application. From there we can discuss the dog or dogs of interest or help match you with one. We work to find flight angels to escort the dogs to you. This would be someone already flying to your area from Puerto Vallarta, as the dog must be attached to a flight reservation. Once a flier is secured and the reservation is made, we organize and connect everyone in a group chat, so you know exactly where to meet the flier and pick up your dog up from the airport after they’ve cleared customs. You do not pay for the dog in advance. We allow you to meet the dog, take a few days to a week to get comfortable before sending you the adoption contract and fee information. If you feel the dog isn’t right for you, we do ask your help (since we fly our dogs out), in fostering the dog until we find a new adopter. This can take a few days or a few weeks. We do our best to heavily promote dogs IF for any reason it doesn’t work out. Please email us if interested in one of our pups! https://www.facebook.com/ADNLdogshelter https://www.adogsnewlife.org/adopt
