Tessa's Story

Hi! I’m Tessa, a 5-year-old girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. I’m super social and enjoy being around others — whether that’s humans or fellow pups. I get along great with other dogs and adapt easily to new situations, which makes me a wonderful companion in all kinds of homes. I love being part of a family and would be happiest with people to call my own. I’m past the puppy stage, so I’ve got a nice balance of playful energy and calm, cozy time. If you’re looking for a loving, friendly dog who’s ready to fit right into your life and bring lots of joy, I’d love to meet you!<br/><br/>Our organization is foster based which means that we really know and understand our dogs personalities as our volunteers live each day in their house with our rescued dogs. Our fosters are available to answer your questions and will give you all the details you need to know about our dogs such as if they are shy, are they outgoing, what is their energy level, are they couch potatoes, love bugs, kissers, lickers, so please do apply and ask our fosters questions - this will ensure you find your pur-fect match in our rescue!<br/><br/>***IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FOSTERING OR ADOPTING TESSA, PLEASE FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AT WWW.MANYPAWSGLOBALRESCUE.ORG***

Many Paws Global Rescue Inc's Adoption Policy

Petfinder Inquiries are NOT an adoption application. If you are interested in adopting, you must fill out an application. After receiving an application via https://manypawsglobalrescue.org/applications-for-adoption/ , we call the potential adopter and explain our process and answer any questions they may have. After the initial call, we then call three personal references, vet reference and landlord (if applicable). Please understand that some animals will get several applications and our main priority is to find the BEST fit for each animal. We do not fully approve applicants until after the meet and great. Due to COVID, we have had to alter our home visits and are hosting calls via Zoom to see the home. In addition, we "Google map" to see what the traffic flow is around the home. After you submit an application, one of the Many Paws member will reach out to you via phone. If we feel the applicant may be a good fit, we set up a time for a meet and greet. Only after the meet and greet, if all goes well, we will then approve applicant and will finalize adoption contracts and fees.
