About Tessa
Meet Tessa, a three-year-old Shepherd and small terrier mix who brings a calm, gentle personality to any home. She’s medium-sized, weighing in at around 30 pounds. Tessa is a bit shy and does best with someone who enjoys a quiet lifestyle. She’s content to hang out at home and would thrive with a person or senior couple looking for a steadfast companion. Tessa just needs a little outdoor space—a small yard is fine—and isn’t demanding when it comes to exercise. She’s alert but not hyper, making her a good fit for anyone who appreciates a watchful friend. Tessa is crate-trained and finds comfort in having her own space, especially if visitors come by. She’s house trained, walks decently on leash, and vaccinated. She’s been spayed and is healthy. Tessa gets along well with calm, respectful children, preferably ten and up. She’s adoptable in Texas or can come to adopters in Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Vermont, or along the East Coast, excluding Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Ready to meet your new best friend?
