About Tess

Meet Tess, a delightful medium-sized beauty who has been through a lot. Just six weeks ago, she gave birth to a litter of six in an overcrowded and noisy shelter in Monticello, KY.

At around two years old, this spayed female is already house-trained and crate-trained. She gets along well with dogs, cats, and children, making her an ideal family pet. Tess is up to date on all her vaccinations and is eager to find her forever home where she can share her love and companionship. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
