Plenty of Pets
Jessa is a nine-year-old Chihuahua mix who weighs 9.6 pounds.
She’s house-trained and loves to snuggle. Or play a game of fetch or tug-of-war.
She enjoys long walks in good weather, and shorter walks- while wearing a jacket- when it’s chilly. She doesn’t like the cold
Jessa is spayed, vaccinated, treated for parasites and micro chipped. She also recently had dental surgery to remove decayed teeth and clean and polish the remainder. She comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. Her adoption fee is $200.
