Tessa Labrador Retriever Mix Dallas, TX

If you have always wanted the perfect family companion who will adore, play, and cuddle with you - look no further! Miss. Tessa is a 9 month old black lab who weighs in around 40lbs. This sweet girl is potty, leash, and crate trained. Her favorite things to do are to play with her toys and go on long walks. She is nearly perfect on her leash, keeps pace with you, and will stop when you stop. Tessa is working on her commands and has almost mastered sit, come, and lay down.

Tessa is great with dogs and would do best with a playmate is close to her size and energy. She is pretty good around cats but has a tendency to be a little overly nosy. She will need a cat who doesn't hesitate to put her in her place. Tessa also loves children but is still a puppy, so still sometimes jumps up.

Tessa has also been seen tuning in to people's fear and anxiety and going to them to comfort and protect. A quality like this in a dog is a rare find and, if honed, could allow for her to be an amazing service dog!
