About Jess
Jess is a 40-pound Terrier mix with a gentle and cautious nature. She tends to get anxious in unfamiliar environments or with new faces, but she responds well when approached with patience and calm energy. Jess warms up more quickly when people take it slow, use gentle voices, and get down on her level, so she can build trust at her own pace. Her curiosity is strong—she loves sniffing around and has a real nose for food and treats. Jess shines when you introduce fun treat puzzles and, once she’s comfortable, you’ll notice her playful streak, like when she claims the desk chair as her own personal throne. A steady, loving family will help Jess grow in confidence and let her adventurous side come out. She enjoys exploring and would do well with someone who understands her need to take things step by step. Jess feels more secure and opens up around other dogs, especially her friend CeCe, so she’d benefit from having a friendly canine companion. With consistent support, she’ll blossom into a loyal, happy, and active companion—all while hoping for plenty of snack breaks during your shared adventures. Ready to meet your new best friend?
