About Tessa

Tessa is a spirited five-year-old spayed female Jack Russell Terrier, weighing 14 pounds and standing 13 inches tall. Originally from British bloodlines, she’s making her way into a new home because of family relocation. Tessa shines as a house and crate-trained companion, enjoys her walks on a leash, and happily rides in the car. While she gets along well with dogs, she's not suited for homes with cats or small animals—Tessa is a determined little hunter, ready to keep squirrels at bay! Dog sports like barn hunt or nose work would suit her active nature perfectly. With a classic Jack Russell disposition, she’ll thrive in an active family environment filled with walking adventures and plenty of toys to keep her busy. Tessa is well-trained and loves to show off her impressive tricks. Located in Clatskanie, OR, her adoption fee is waived. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
