About Tessa

This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $250 if picked up in TN, $325 plus transport fee for out of state adoptions. Who can resist an adorable shaggy dog? Meet Tessa! Tessa is an 11-month-old, 40 lb Labradoodle mix who is eager to find a home of her own! Tessa is timid at first meeting but warms up quickly when there's another friendly dog around. Tessa was not socialized well as a pup, so she is still learning to trust people, but she is very sweet and is adjusting well in her foster home. She is very curious about what her people are doing and likes to follow you around. She comes up for a pet and a little affection when you're seated. Tessa does great with the other dogs in her foster home and enjoys sitting with them for treats, exploring the fenced-in yard with them, playing chase, chasing a ball or playing tug with a dog or person. She meets new dogs well and has enjoyed playing with small and large dogs. Tessa is housetrained and learned to use the dog door quickly. Tessa is also crate trained and enjoys going in an open crate to nap or eat her meals. Some nights she sleeps on a dog bed since she's not chewing anything except her hard dog bones and sleeps well all night. She is leash trained and enjoys going for walks with another dog. Car rides are still scary for her, but her foster mom is getting her out and about weekly to help her. Tessa would do great in a quiet, calm home with another playful dog and a family who is home more often than not. A family who would enjoy doing obedience training with her, going on walks, hikes and to the park would be ideal. If she would make the perfect fit for your family, please ask us about Tessa today!
