🌟 Meet Tessa, the delightful 3-year-old Shepherd-Terrier mix who is ready to fill your home with warmth and love! At about 30 pounds, this sweet girl is perfectly medium-sized for snuggling on the couch or enjoying a peaceful afternoon. Though she can be a bit shy, Tessa is looking for a special person who appreciates the beauty of quiet moments at home. Could that be you? 💖 This charming companion would thrive in a cozy setting where she can feel secure. Tessa doesn’t demand much—just a nice, small yard for some light exercise, and you by her side. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or a backyard romp, she’ll be content just to be with you. 🏡✨ If you happen to see something out of the ordinary, Tessa will let you know with her little barks, making her a fantastic alert dog for anyone who may be hard of hearing. Tessa’s calm demeanor makes her a perfect match for a senior couple or a gentle single person. Crates are her safe havens, so if you have guests over, she’ll happily retreat to her space, cozy as can be. Isn’t that just precious? 💕 She’s good in her crate and has shown she's decent on the leash, ready for those short walks you both can enjoy together. Tessa is healthy, spayed, and up to date on her vaccines, which means she’s ready for her forever family! While she enjoys her solitude, she is also good with children, as long as they are 10 years and older. 🐾 Tessa is currently in Texas but can travel to places like Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont, and even along the East Coast! (Sorry, Rhode Island and Massachusetts friends, but their regulations are a big ol' no for now.) Her adoption fee is $300, plus $200 for transport if you’re a little further away. Tessa is waiting for you to take that next step! ✨💌 Don’t forget, applying to adopt Tessa is a must—and that can be done conveniently through the Buddy App! You absolutely do not want to miss out on this loving companion. So, go ahead and apply through the Buddy App today! 🐕❤️
