About Tessa

Meet Tessa, one of the adorable puppies rescued with her siblings from an abandoned home in Browning. These little ones, a mix of Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog, are just 7 weeks old and bursting with personality. They’ve been well cared for in foster, receiving essential vaccinations and will come microchipped. Each puppy is outgoing, playful, and has a charming disposition. They are expected to grow to about their mama’s size of 38 lbs. Tessa gets along well with both cats and dogs, making her a great fit for any home. Since she’s still too young to be spayed, she will be placed under a foster-to-adopt agreement. This transition allows adopters to complete the necessary surgery, after which full ownership is transferred with the help of a $50 voucher. The adoption fee is $300, which covers the cost of bringing home a healthy, friendly puppy. Don’t miss out on bringing Tessa into your family. Apply today!
