About Nessa

Meet Nessa! This playful, outgoing pup brings a lot of energy and excitement wherever she goes. She thrives outdoors and is always up for playtime with her siblings or other farm animals. Nessa is working on her basic commands, house training, and walking on a leash—she’s making progress but isn’t quite there yet. She does well with other dogs and, with a patient introduction, could adjust to cats over time. Because she’s still learning her manners, a home with kids over 10 would be the best fit for her. Nessa is looking for an adopter who can guide her through this energetic puppy stage and appreciates an active, social companion. She’s spayed and current on her vaccinations, ready for her next adventure in Cleveland, TX. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
