Tessa's Story

Meet Tessa!<br/> 1 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix <br/><br/>Tessa is the total package of brains, beauty, and bounce! This sweet and spunky girl is full of personality and ready to find a home that matches her active lifestyle.<br/><br/>She’s crate trained, walks well on a leash, and is a social butterfly with people and other dogs. Tessa does love to play with canine friends but is still learning how to respect their boundaries continued guidance will help her thrive! She hasn’t been tested with cats yet.<br/><br/>Tessa is an energetic girl who loves to fetch and she loves the tether tug pole in our play yard! We will even throw in a free tether tug pole for her forever family! She’d do best in a home that can provide her with plenty of mental and physical enrichment. A fenced yard is ideal to help her safely zoom and play.<br/><br/>Tessa’s intelligence and energy are a winning combo—but they mean she’ll need a home committed to giving her structure and outlets. In return, she’ll give you her big heart and endless tail wags.<br/><br/>*Due to Tessa's herding breed, and energy level we do not recommend small children<br/><br/>Apply to meet Tessa!<br/>https://unchainedmelodies.org/adopt/<br/><br/>All UMDR dogs are up to date on vaccinations and preventatives, spayed/neutered and microchipped.<br/><br/>*No Out of State Adoptions<br/>*No electric fencing
