Tessa's Story

Meet Tessa — A Heart Full of Love (and Maybe a Little Kennel Sass)<br/><br/>At 3 years old and a gentle 58 pounds, Tessa is the kind of dog who steals your heart the moment you really meet her.<br/><br/>Now, we’ll be honest — when you walk past her kennel, she might look like she’s auditioning for a monster movie. But don’t let the “I’m-so-tough” bark fool you — that’s just kennel stress talking, not her heart. Outside the kennel, Tessa transforms into a total lovebug: tail wags, happy zoomies, and “please-throw-the-ball-again!” energy galore.<br/><br/>Why You’ll Fall in Love with Tessa:<br/>• Exceptionally gentle and affectionate<br/>• Easygoing, well-mannered, and loves a good cuddle session<br/>• Learning to walk on leash — becoming a perfect walking buddy<br/>• Obsessed with soft beds, tasty treats, and your attention<br/>• Sports that classic “pitty smile” that melts hearts <br/><br/>Tessa dreams of a forever home where she can trade her kennel for a cozy couch and a family of her own. She’s got a heart of gold, a gentle spirit, and so much love waiting to share.<br/><br/>While Tessa and her shelter buddies wait for their happily-ever-afters, we’re keeping them comfy, calm, and cared for.<br/><br/>Let’s make sure no paw is left behind! ?<br/><br/>#AdoptTessa #RescueDogs #ShelterLife #KennelStressIsReal #AdoptDontShop #SupportShelters #RescueLove #DonateForAnimals #GiveBack #OnePawAtATime
