About Tessa
Tessa isn't sad; she just has a unique face that makes her all the more lovable. This Pug mix is around 2 to 3 years old and currently weighs 13 lbs, although she should ideally be at about 16-18 lbs. Tessa has had a tough past, having been found on the streets of New Mexico before ending up in a high-kill shelter. Thankfully, she was rescued and is now in a caring foster home in Colorado, where she is slowly learning what it means to be loved. Tessa is naturally friendly, though she starts off a bit shy. She thrives on the company of other dogs and will require a home with another canine companion to help her feel secure. According to her foster, Tessa is sweet and gentle, quickly warming up with some love and tasty treats. Despite her tough beginnings, she shows no signs of aggression and seems to have not been in a home environment before, often appearing curious about basic home comforts. Her fur has a lovely tricolor pattern, making her even more adorable. Tessa's future family should be committed to maintaining her coat and feeding her high-quality food for optimal health. Formal training is essential to help her build confidence and bond with her new family. Ideal adopters would be dog-loving retirees or families working from home who can spend time nurturing her. If you feel a connection with Tessa, now is your chance to bring this sweet girl into your life. Click apply to start the adoption process.
