About Jess

Jess is the kind of dog who turns heads without even trying—effortlessly channeling that classic girl-next-door charm while still knowing how to elevate the moment with a little flair. Equal parts playful and poised, she's a happy-go-lucky hound with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Goofy, chatty, and wonderfully athletic, Jess brings a spark of joy wherever she goes. Her days are filled with sunrise zoomies, backyard adventures, and cozy wind-down snuggles. She's currently living with a lively crew of canine companions—her ride-or-die squad—who have helped her refine her social skills as she prepares for her ultimate starring role: devoted sidekick in her forever home. Jess hasn't met cats yet, but her curious nature means a slow, thoughtful introduction would be key—dog-savvy cats with safe escape routes would be the best match. Because of her enthusiastic, bouncy energy, she'd do best with older kids who can keep up with her playful spirit. If you're looking for a dog who brings energy, laughter, and just the right touch of star power, Jess is ready to step into the spotlight as the life of your party—and your most loyal companion.

Ideal Home

Jess thrives on fun. She loves romping with other dogs, showing off her impressive hops, and tearing around the yard like she's training for her own version of the Hound Olympics. A secure 6-foot fenced yard and a playful dog buddy would be her dream setup. She's clever and quick on her feet, so outdoor time should be supervised—this girl can absolutely fly. Car rides are one of her favorite things, and she's always ready to claim the front seat and head out on her next adventure. She'd do best with an active, dog-savvy family who appreciates classic hound quirks, including her occasional vocal commentary.

Ongoing Health

As part of Jess's adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

Training & Support

Jess is crate trained, potty trained, and content to relax in her crate or curl up on the couch after a full day of fun. She's also a dedicated chewer, so keeping her stocked with toys, bones, and enrichment items will keep her happily occupied.
