Tessa's Story

Hi, my name is Tessa,<br/><br/>Female - pending spay<br/>German Shepherd Mix<br/>Approx. 8 years old<br/><br/>I'm an all-around great lady with a friendly and easygoing nature. Meeting new people is one of my favourite things, and I greet everyone with a wagging tail and a big smile. When it comes to meal times, I enjoy my food at a normal pace. While I might not be overly interested in toys, talk about treats and people, and you'll see my eyes light up-that's my absolute favourite!<br/><br/>As an older lady, I must admit that I can be a bit eager on the leash. I could certainly benefit from some leash manners training, but with patience and guidance, I'm confident I'll improve. I am excellent when it comes to body handling-whether it's touching my paws or rubbing my tummy, I'm as easygoing as they come. I recently had my first professional grooming experience, and I must say, I did amazing!<br/><br/>Being a senior lady, I can be a bit selective with my doggy friends. I prefer companions who are respectful of this aging queen, and I feel the same way about kitties. When it comes to training, I know some basic obedience skills. With my love for treats and the desire to please, I'm sure I can learn some cool new tricks!<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loving, gentle, and friendly companion who will brighten your days, I might just be the perfect match for you.

Georgina Animal Shelter and Adoption Centre's Adoption Policy
We at the Georgina Animal Shelter strive to find the best possible outcomes for the homeless cats and dogs that enter our care care. The majority of pets we receive have no known medical or behaviour histories. Each pet is continually assessed throughout its time in our care. All pets receive an individualized animal welfare plan including spaying/neutering, vaccinations, anti-parasitic treatments, nutritional plan and any other medical treatments or behvaiour modifications deemed necessary. Temperament and personality assessments allow us to better match pets with potential adopters. Completing a detailed adoption questionnaire helps to ensure that we are matching perspective adopters with the pet that is best suited to their home environment and lifestyle. We want each adoption to be a success and pride ourselves in providing a transparent and thorough adoption process. To ensure adoption compatibility, follow up calls and/or emails are provided to each adopter to ensure that the transition of their new pet into their home is successful. If you would like to inquire about a pet that is available for adoption, contact us at 1-800-898-8606 or email us at animal-control@georgina.ca to learn more. Adoption Fees: Cats $175 + HST Dogs $300 + HST In addition the purchase of a license is required for all dogs being adopted within the municipalities we serve and for cats residing in the town of Newmarket and Aurora. **Prices vary** Cats: https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?animal=cat&shelter_id=ON53 Dogs: https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?animal=dog&shelter_id=ON53 We believe in advocating for responsible pet ownership and the life long commitment of pet adoption. Every pet deserves a safe, warm and loving home.
