About Tessa

Tessa is a beabull—half beagle, half English bulldog, all personality. She’s about 4 to 5 years old, short-coated, and full of mischief and affection. Tessa doesn’t hold back. She’s social, outgoing, and centers herself in the room, not for attention but as her natural state. Expect a happy, adventurous, and playful energy from her; boundaries aren’t her thing, and she approaches each day with a wild optimism that’s infectious. Whatever Tessa wants, she works for it, especially if food is involved. Most of the time, she’s got a blank face, but for those who know her, the mischief is easy to spot. Tessa knows how to keep life interesting. She loves to play, run, swim, take car rides, and meet anyone—species is irrelevant. She’s lived with and gets along with children, dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, farm animals—the whole menagerie. Her ideal home has a secure fenced yard and patient, steady humans who appreciate a dog that responds best to joyful redirects rather than rigid rules. Tessa’s house and crate trained, leash walking is solid, but her recall remains a work in progress—she listens only when it suits her. She’s active, but not hyper—a mix of medium and high energy as needed. Someone ready to devote time to enrichment, play, and ongoing training will get the most out of her. Activity grounds her and brings out the best. Two patient meet-and-greets, a home check, and steady commitment are required for her next chapter. Tessa brings a reminder that life’s better when you choose joy. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
