Kess's Buddy says,

 

GSRNE is blessed to have a community who actively supports the adoption of senior animals, and Kess is soon to be a lucky member of that club! A 9-year old white female, Kess has come into GSRNE because her owner's mother became sick very suddenly, she had to leave the state to go help her mother and couldn't take Kess with her.   This is the second time Kess has been uprooted, as she began the first 8-9 months of her life living in a car with a homeless man who couldn't afford to feed her correctly. Kess is hoping for one final home where she can live out her Golden Years with someone that loves her.

Kess is an amazing girl and her previous owner told us she is wonderful and patient with kids-- all of the 14 grandchildren! Kess has met many strangers since she came to us, and is very friendly in her greetings. She is very well-mannered except for a predisposition to counter surf and get in the trash. Watching what you leave on the counters, reminders that it is off limits, and keeping the trash covered will help her learn that they are off limits.

Good with other dogs, Kess loves to play at a local dog park. During the photoshoot of the above pictures the photographer told us the following,   "This was Kess' second run of the day and she did great.  We crossed a football field and walked along a river.  She initially was afraid to jump over the log, then it became second nature to her.  We hung out at a grounded raft, and both my dogs could jump on it, but she was unable to.  She was only able to lift her front paws onto the raft, then Danny assisted her the rest of the way up.  She enjoyed it up there, with him and her foster brother, Rocky.  We were out for about two hours.  She came to me for affection, and played great with my dogs on the beach.  She waded in the water; had no fear of it. 

Kess  did great meeting my dogs at my house.  Cats are also okay with her: Kess is reported to pay them little attention.  She met my cat at her photo session and did great.  Curious for a few seconds, she was soon off to find something more interesting.  She even gave the cat a kiss and which was captured on film.  She seems to be an emotionally healthy dog, not too Velcro yet not too standoffish.  Really nice dog!"

Kess it at such a wonderful age. She is still young enough to be active and yet old enough to be calm.  She loves to be with people and will be your best friend. She just wants to be with a family, whether on a walk, outside or inside.  For those who seek the wonderful attributes of a senior dog and would feel blessed to give this girl the peaceful retirement she deserves, Kess is waiting to meet you!
