About Jess

Jess is an 18-month-old pittie mix with a blue-tinged coat that catches the light in just the right way. She’s weathered some rough patches—abandoned, and likely a mama at some point—but she keeps her spirits up and doesn’t shy away from affection. Jess adores people. She’s a genuine lovebug, always game for cuddles or lap time, happiest when she’s the center of her person’s world. She plays well with other dogs and enjoys their company but would be best in a home without cats due to her prey drive. Crate trained and respectful indoors, Jess blends right into family routines and settles down after playtime. She keeps her vaccinations current, is spayed, and comes microchipped for peace of mind. Her playful, goofy side shows through when she’s caught up in a game or barrel rolling in the grass. Jess is looking for a home that will let her finally be the cherished companion she’s meant to be—a steady presence with a big heart and even bigger smile. Jess is an Aquarius, which might explain her independent streak and quirky sense of humor. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
