Tessa's Story

I'm Tessa and can't believe I am still waiting for a home of my very own!!!! I like rescue, but really want a home of my very own. <br/><br/>Tessa is a people loving dog. She loves pets and getting attention. She is mischievious. For example she'll try to "prune" my plants, steal sponges from the sink and just investigate anything new.<br/><br/>She is Boxer Enthusiastic, but will settle down and be a loving companion. Tessa is a puller when on a leash and needs training, but loves her walks on the trails here. She is crate trained and runs right in ... for a treat! <br/> <br/> <br/>Tessa's has a natural, long tail with a kink in it. Looks like she might have gotten it caught in a door when she was little. It is her special signature. That tail wags continually, letting you know she's a happy girl.<br/><br/>She would be best as an only dog as she is protective of her food and toys with other dogs. She is fine with people and takes treats gently. Treats have been very effective in training sessions. <br/><br/>If you'd like to meet Tessa, please email BoxerRescue@cox.net for an adoption application, then make an appointment to meet Tessa.
