About Thea

Meet Thea, a vibrant young pup looking for her forever home. Previously, her elderly owners struggled to provide the care she needs.

This Jack Russell mix sports a sleek white and cream coat that reflects her energetic spirit. She's fully vaccinated, house trained, and crate trained. This affectionate and personable dog loves people, showing no shyness with strangers. Thea has a fondness for squeaky toys, enjoys her walks, and is well-behaved in the car.
