Meet Tess! Tess is the sweetest pup who loves all people and other dogs. When she meets new people she’s all puppy kisses and wiggles and usually she’ll ask for a belly rub as well.
Tess is 10 months old and at 31 lbs is the perfect size. She may fill out a bit more but we don’t expect her to get much larger. (No guarantees!) Not much is known about her background as she came into the shelter as a stray, but we know someone loved her at some point because she’s such a sweet well-adjusted girl.
Tess would make an amazing dog for an active family. She’s gentle enough to be okay with children but she’s still an energetic pup who is always up for a walk or adventure. Tess also loves to play with other dogs. She’s great with small and large dogs, but especially loves to wrestle with pups around her size. Tess would love to have a dog sibling but would also be fine as an only dog as long as her new family could take her places where she could make some doggie friends.
Overall Tess is just a great, really well-rounded pup who, since being rescued from an overcrowded LA shelter, has not displayed any negative behaviors. She’s friendly with all people and dogs, confident in new situations, not a big barker, and she’s even doing great with house training. All that being said, Tess is still a puppy, and like all puppies would benefit from a basic puppy training course.
