Tessa's Story

Tessa's favorite things are walks in the woods, treats and belly rubs (it just takes spending a few minutes with her before she'll flop over and ask for one)! She loves spending the day on the trail, but she'd be just as happy curling up at your feet or next to you on the couch for a nap. She gets adorable zoomies when she wants to sprint around outside, but she isn't overly energetic and doesn't need long exercise sessions. Tessa lights up when you tell her she's a good dog. Her love for praise, treats and belly rubs makes her a very trainable dog, and she already knows some basic commands and tricks like "sit" and "paw". <br/> When Tessa spent some time in a foster home, she never put so much as a paw up on a table or window, did not bark or whine, and laid down patiently during human dinner time. She was also very brave, and was quickly able to overcome her initial fear of car rides and loud noises. When left alone with the run of the house overnight or for part of the day, Tessa showed no signs of destruction or getting into trouble. After an absence, she gets very excited to see her favorite human friends, but calms down just as quickly. She is patiently waiting for a chance to show someone what a goofy and loving companion she can be!<br/>Adoption Application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PANY/Dog
