About Jessica

Jessica is a shy girl, but once she settles in, her playful side emerges. She has a unique way of communicating, typical of pit bulls, and enjoys a treat or two. While she knows how to sit, her excitement might lead her to jump up. Having been a stray, it's best for her to have slow introductions to other animals and children to gauge compatibility. She tends to pull on the leash during walks but shows a preference for doing her business outside. Jessica is currently in Colorado Springs, CO. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
