About Tess
Tess is a 7-year-old, 8 lb Chihuahua mix with a gentle heart and a submissive demeanor, especially when meeting new people. She is currently working on her house training and is crate trained. This lovely lady is great with small dogs but feels intimidated by larger ones. While she hasn't been tested with cats, Tess is open to a meet and greet. Although Tess has not directly interacted with kids, she likely would be okay around older, calm children who understand how to treat a timid dog gently. A perfect home for Tess is one that offers a calm environment where she can thrive. She is deeply bonded with her sister, Penny, and they must be adopted together. These two girls enjoy following their foster mom around, curling up together, giving kisses, and burrowing under blankets to keep cozy. Tess is gaining confidence, and with some patience, she is starting to trust more. If you can offer her and Penny the love they need, you will be rewarded with a lifetime of companionship and joy.
