Meet Tessa — A Heart Full of Love (and Maybe a Little Kennel Sass) At 3 years old and a gentle 58 pounds, Tessa is the kind of dog who steals your heart the moment you really meet her. Now, we’ll be honest — when you walk past her kennel, she might look like she’s auditioning for a monster movie. But don’t let the “I’m-so-tough” bark fool you — that’s just kennel stress talking, not her heart. Outside the kennel, Tessa transforms into a total lovebug: tail wags, happy zoomies, and “please-throw-the-ball-again!” energy galore. Why You’ll Fall in Love with Tessa: • Exceptionally gentle and affectionate • Easygoing, well-mannered, and loves a good cuddle session • Learning to walk on leash — becoming a perfect walking buddy • Obsessed with soft beds, tasty treats, and your attention • Sports that classic “pitty smile” that melts hearts Tessa dreams of a forever home where she can trade her kennel for a cozy couch and a family of her own. She’s got a heart of gold, a gentle spirit, and so much love waiting to share. While Tessa and her shelter buddies wait for their happily-ever-afters, we’re keeping them comfy, calm, and cared for.
