Tessie Boston Terrier Newington, CT

Tessie had one owner her entire life, she has been loved and cared for. Her owner began a family and Tessie did not like taking a back seat to a baby. Also the owner must care for a loved one and could no longer give Tessie the attention she requires. Tessie just turned 7 this month, she thinks she is 2. She is a spunky, spirited girl that expects fetch regularly. She is not boring, she talks and tends to be quite expressive. She is a fun loving girl! She’s not fond of other dogs but she loves people, children and cats! She could learn to live with another very passive dog. It would be a lengthy adjustment period. This is a strong alpha female, to know Tessie is to love Tessie her personality lights up the world!
