About Tesla

Tesla, or Tess as she's affectionately called, has come a long way since arriving from a hoarding situation in Oklahoma. Initially intimidated by her surroundings, she's blossomed under the care of her foster family and her dog brother. At just six months old, Tess is a delightful blend of playfulness and relaxation. While she enjoys her downtime, she's also up for a good game of tug-of-war or wrestling. She's learning to establish boundaries during playtime, occasionally getting a bit mouthy but showing impressive manners for her age. Tess is fully house trained, uses a doggie door like a pro, and sleeps peacefully in her kennel at night. She walks well on a leash, knows commands like sit and shake, and rides calmly in the car. She's playful with her foster brother and can certainly warm up to new friends with treats and patience. She shares her space with cats and chickens, showing potential to learn playful boundaries with the right training. While she can still be shy around new faces, her gentle nature makes her a loving companion. Tess is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on her vaccinations. If you're looking for a well-mannered, affectionate pup, Tess might just be the one for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
