About Jesse

Jesse came from a tough start, rescued alongside his siblings from a situation where he wasn’t getting the care he needed. He arrived underweight, burdened with parasites, and shy around people. Over time, Jesse has shed his fears and grown into an affectionate, loyal companion who truly enjoys his daily walks. He’s found comfort in a steady routine and now seeks attention from the people he trusts. Jesse does best as the only animal in the home—he does not get along with dogs, cats, or children. He thrives with adults who value his affectionate but protective nature. He’ll reward patience with genuine loyalty and love. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
