About

Meet Tess

    Meet Tess  a very sweet and intelligent girl who is 3.5 yrs old.   Tess showed up on our back porch as a puppy. We took all the steps to find her original owners, but ended up adopting her ourselves after no one claimed her and we fell in love.  Tess is very active and athletic, but also loves to lounge on the couch or dog bed for hours. Tess has always gotten along great with our two dogs and all other dogs who have visited. Recently, however, Tess is displaying dominance over our senior female dog who has health problems. We are concerned for our senior girl who needs a quiet home. As much as we love Tess, we know she would be happier in a home without other female dogs. It's very stressful and sad for all of us. Tess would prefer a nice fenced yard over being leash walked. She hasn't had much exposure to small children, so homes with older children or adults only would be ideal. We are heartbroken over this, but know that it's for the best.     Tess is spayed and up to date on vaccines.  Crate trained and has basic obedience training.  Tess is located in Winnabow.  If you are interested in this sweet girl, please contact Donna at [email protected] or fill out an online application Click to apply. Tess is a courtesy post.
