About Tess

Meet Tess! This adorable little lady is about 8 to 12 months old and weighs around 6 pounds. Don't let her size fool you—she has the spirited personality of a larger puppy. Tess might be a mix of Chihuahua, Chinese Crested, and Yorkie, which gives her a unique charm. She’s making great progress with her potty training and can use pee pads if needed. Found wandering the streets of Waterbury, Tess has been fully vetted, including being spayed. During her check-up, it was noted that she has some pressure buildup in her left eye, but with proper drops and follow-ups, she’s on the right track. Tess enjoys playing with other dogs at the rescue but can be a bit vocal around larger dogs—she certainly has no fear! We’re unsure how she feels about cats. Her adoption fee is $625.
