Tessa in IA's Story
The adoption process starts with an Online Adoption Application you can find at 'https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application.<br/>Phone interviews do not take place til after an approved application is on file and we have a possible match for your home<br/><br/>My name is Tessa! I was born in August of 2023 which makes me just over 2 years old. I am just over 13 lbs. I am being fostered in Ames, Iowa. I am needing a new home because I am an owner surrender.<br/><br/>I am a fun, spunky girl who loves playing with my foster family! My absolute favorite game is zooming around the backyard at full speed and teasing my foster brother by grabbing the toys before he can. When I’ve gotten all my wiggles out, I love nothing more than curling up with my foster mom for some snuggle time.<br/><br/>I am kennel-trained, housetrained, and I ride great in the car. I get along with dogs of all sizes, and I even like cats—I enjoy playing with them too, so if you have cats who don’t mind a playful friend, I’d fit right in!<br/><br/>I can be a little unsure of strangers at first. I might bark and then run to hide, but once I know you, I’m a confident, happy girl. I do bark sometimes, so apartment living might depend on how sound-friendly your building is. I’m still working on my leash skills, but I’m a smart pup and learning quickly!<br/><br/>Here’s a little more about me:<br/>Housetrained: Yes!<br/>Kennel trained: Yes!<br/>Leash-trained: I’m working on it<br/>Good with dogs: Yes<br/>Good with cats: Yes<br/>Good with young kids: Yes<br/>Good with strangers: I need a little warm-up time<br/>Shy or confident: Confidence (once I know you!)<br/>Barks: Occasionally<br/>Apartment qualified: Possibly<br/>Special needs: None<br/>Adoption Fee? $ 450<br/><br/>The adoption process starts with an Online Adoption Application you can find at ''https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application.<br/><br/>All our dogs are spayed/neutered (if six months and older), up to date on rabies and distemper, heartworm tested, and microchipped. Other medical needs diagnosed while in foster care are also treated prior to adoption.<br/><br/>MABTR requires a fenced in area from families who own their home, however we DO adopt to apartment complexes and communities where fences are not permitted due to leases and covenants. In these cases a leash law must be enforced. We do not accept invisible fencing.<br/><br/>MABTR only adopts to families residing in NE, CO, MO, KS, IA, WY, SD, ND, ID, UT, MT, MN, and NW AR due to the lack of volunteer support in other states, no exception even if you are willing to drive.<br/><br/>If you are Interested in Adoption please complete our online adoption application at 'https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application<br/><br/>Petfinder's form is NOT our application. We will respond back to you within 72 hours of receiving your application.<br/><br/>Interested in Donating visit https://www.adoptaboston.com/donate
