Tessa is a small, adult Dachshund/Terrier mix who thrives in a calm, patient environment without children. She tends to warm up much faster to women than men, and having other dogs around is a plus—she enjoys canine company and knows how to behave in a group. Tessa is crate trained, which adds some flexibility for managing her routine and helping her feel secure when left alone. Because she does better in low-chaos households without kids, she’ll need an adopter who can offer plenty of stability and some time to build trust.
