About Tess

Tess is a delightful Great Pyrenees/Basset mix, full of charm and puppy energy. Despite her complicated family tree, her playful disposition is undeniable. She’s sweet and friendly, managing to get along with dogs, cats, and children alike. There’s a slight pause when she meets new people, as she takes a moment to size things up—wise reasoning for a growing pup. As a young dog, Tess will thrive in a home that can provide structure and guidance. Housebreaking and learning proper manners are all on her to-do list, and she’ll need some help understanding what’s hers and what’s yours. Luckily, patience and consistency will go a long way in her training. Expect her to grow into a sizable dog, with her exact genetics still largely a mystery. A fenced yard to play in and a family eager to include her in everyday activities will make her happiest. A friendly doggy companion would also be a wonderful addition to her life. If you can provide a loving home for this sweet girl, Tess is ready to meet you. Ready to give Tess a loving home? Apply today!
