About Tecca

Meet Tecca! This tiny lady weighs only 5 pounds, but her sweetness is massive. At 11 years old, she recently lost her owner and now finds herself at Tired Dog Rescue, ready to find a loving forever home. Tecca has already been spayed and her vaccinations are up to date. She will also receive a dental before her adoption. Thankfully, a mass that was evaluated turned out to be a benign mammary adenoma, so there’s no cause for concern. Right now, Tecca is on antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection and will see an orthopedic specialist for her back legs, ensuring she gets the best care possible. Despite her recent changes, Tecca remains an absolute sweetheart. She adores people, gets along well with other dogs, and has a gentle personality that melts hearts. While she isn’t quite ready for adoption yet, applications are open so we can find the perfect home for her when the time comes. If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a loving soul, Tecca might just be the girl for you.
