About Tessa

Tessa is still on the lookout for her forever home, while her sister Tillie has found hers. At about a year old, this Corgi mix weighs around 30 pounds and has distinctive markings that make her stand out. Tessa is social and friendly, thriving in the company of other dogs and doing well with children too. She even shared a positive interaction with a clinic cat during a veterinary visit. Although Tessa and Tillie have grown up together, Tessa can show a bit of jealousy when her sister gets attention. For this reason, we believe she will flourish best in an environment where she receives individual focus and can form a strong bond with her new family. Tessa is affectionate and full of potential to be a wonderful companion. She's ready to embark on a new chapter in her life.
