Meet Tessie, a lively 8-month-old Belgian Malinois eager for the right foster home. Life hasn't been easy for her; she was born to a backyard breeder and unfortunately returned just two days after her adoption because her energy level was misinterpreted. Tessie is not hyper; she’s just a young pup who hasn't yet learned how to channel her enthusiasm. In her evaluation, she showed off her friendly demeanor and quickly warmed up to new people, accepting all kinds of handling with ease. This girl is highly trainable, especially with her food motivation pushing her toward basic obedience. Her evaluator noted that Tessie has a great off switch and can thrive in a structured routine. She's looking for a foster who can provide guidance, consistency, and the enrichment she needs to develop into a loving companion. With the right nurturing, Tessie has the potential to be an amazing family dog. Are you the experienced foster she’s searching for?
