Tessa (D1955)'s Story

Meet Tessa! She came to us after being found on a country dirt road with no houses, nobody came forward during her stray hold. She had a lot of hair loss and a skin infection. Tessa is about 4 years old, she weighs about 20lbs and she is FULL of personality. She does well with kids and cats; she is dog selective (she is currently being fostered with other dogs but she does not love all of them). She doesn’t like when some dogs get in her personal space. Tessa uses the dog door and does very well with potty training. Here is what her foster has to say about her:<br/><br/>Tessa has a very sweet demeanor. She is the perfect mix of playful and couch potato. Tessa loves toys of all kinds especially anything she can chew. She loves riding in the car and going places with us.<br/><br/>Tessa needs time to adjust to her new home and it’s expectations. Her future family should be aware that pet ownership is a lifelong commitment, requiring daily exercise, ongoing training, and socialization. A good dog is a tired dog.<br/><br/>If you're considering adopting Tessa, we ask that you NOT CALL us. Instead, please complete an online application on 4 Paws Animal Rescue's website at www.4pawz.org. We verify the care of past/current pets. Our primary goal is to find the best homes for all our dogs and cats. As such, we reserve the right to approve or deny adoption applications based on determining what's in the pet's best interest.<br/><br/>#LoveDogsForever #MixedBreed #Terriermix #RescuedIsTheBestBreed #Dogs #DogsAreACommitment #RescueDog #LoveDogs #Adopt #AdoptDontShop0
