Tessa

One volunteer described her as a "teeny tiny little pocket Shep" and couldn't say enough good things about her. She was quiet and well-behaved in her kennel, easy to handle, treat motivated, and even offered a cute little paw during photos. She seems eager to learn and would likely thrive with a little guidance and consistency. Like many dogs in the shelter, Tessa can be a bit shy when first meeting new people and will need time to decompress. But once she was out with other dogs, her playful side came shining through. During her dog assessment, she happily ran and played with younger pups and seemed to enjoy making new friends.
