Story
Meet Esme – A Sweet, Smart, and Loving Companion Ready for Her Forever Home
Esme is a truly remarkable dog with a heart as fluffy as her constantly wagging tail. She’s been a dream to foster and has quickly proven to be a gentle, loyal, and eager-to-please companion. Here's what we’ve learned about her during her time with us:
The Sweet Side of Esme
Clever and Obedient: Esme knows commands like sit, shake, beg, and lay down, stay—and her gentle shake will melt your heart.
Cuddly and Affectionate: She adores snuggles, nuzzles into you, and loves a good bum scratch.
Great Recall: Whether at the park or on a walk, Esme stays close and comes when called, even with distractions.
House and Leash Manners: She’s trustworthy off-leash, rarely pulls on the leash, and hasn’t shown any interest in trash or counter-surfing (though a kleenex from the bathroom garbage can is a bit too tempting!).
Quiet and Calm: Esme doesn’t bark excessively and settles quietly in her kennel, which she loves, overnight.
Social Butterfly: She’s done wonderfully meeting new people, kids, and other dogs. At Home Depot, she turned heads for all the right reasons—calm, attentive, and sweet as can be.
A Few Quirks
Esme has a sensitive spot with her ears, which she prefers not to be touched. We’ve learned this is likely due to discomfort rather than aggression. She’s gentle in her reactions, but it’s good to respect her boundaries.
Occasionally, she’s protective of her food but we're working on this and she is quick to apologize with a loving nuzzle.
When she’s excited, she may softly place her front paws on you—but it’s done with care.
Bonus Fun Facts
Esme loves to play fetch and will happily chase a ball.
She’s a superstar with kids—she’s joined us sledding and on school pick-up runs, thriving in the chaos of happy little hands.
She’s got a slightly higher energy level but knows when to relax indoors, making her the perfect balance of playful and calm.
Esme is the total package: loving, well-mannered, and eager to please. While she’s not without quirks, they’re manageable with understanding and care. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, and loyal companion, Esme is your girl.
All Esme wants is a family to love on her so she can love on them straight back. Her forever family will be truly lucky to have her.
Esme is ready to bring joy and love into her new home. Are you ready to meet her?
