Meet Tess, the vibrant little pup that's ready to steal your heart! 🎉 With a personality that's as big as Texas, Tess is a bundle of joy who lights up every room she enters. She’s friendly to everyone — from the tiniest chihuahuas to the gentlest Great Danes 🐶. This playful pup thrives on companionship and loves to follow you around like your own little shadow. Imagine her wagging tail and happy face every time you call her! Tess is fully house-trained and walks beautifully on a leash, making her the perfect companion for your daily adventures 🚶‍♀️. Whether she's exploring the great outdoors or enjoying a cozy car ride, this girl is ready for it all! While she doesn't appreciate being in crates much (she's had her fair share of them), she’s a well-mannered guest in the home, exhibiting her cleanliness and good manners. Life hasn’t always been easy for Tess, with some tough transitions that led her to find herself in need of a new loving family. But guess what? She’s ready for her next beautiful chapter, and she dreams of finding an active, loving household that can match her energy level and shower her with love ❤️. She’s looking for someone who can keep up with her playtime demands and offer her the affection she truly deserves. Tess is so ready to embrace a future filled with fun and laughter, and she’d adore a home with energetic people who enjoy an active lifestyle. Although we’re not yet sure about her experience with children, she’s got that loving and energetic spirit that could be a perfect fit for a family. **Note:** Tess will be arriving from Texas on 02/07/2026 and will need to be picked up at the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between 8:30 AM and noon. 📆 Please ensure you can make it during this timeframe! For the current moment, Tess is available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) program, and there might be further vetting needed once she arrives. If this sweet girl sounds like the companion you've been waiting for, don’t wait another moment! Apply to adopt Tess through the Buddy App and get ready for unconditional love and joy!
