Tessa is a lively, playful young Labrador Retriever mix with a big personality and a ton of energy. She’s happiest when she’s surrounded by people, eager to meet new faces, and can never get enough attention. Treats are her favorite, and she’ll happily show off her tricks for a reward—Tessa already knows how to sit, lay down, shake, and even speak. She’s sharp, pays close attention to her handler, and picks up new commands quickly, so working with her is both fun and rewarding. Tessa gets along with other dogs but brings a bit of assertive energy to her play, so a meet-and-greet with any resident dogs is a must to make sure everyone meshes well. She’d love a household that appreciates her zest for life and is ready to keep her both mentally and physically challenged. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate dog who’s always ready for action, come meet Tessa in Lakeside, AZ. She’s waiting to find her match. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
