Tessa's foster mom writes: "I don't think sweet even comes close to what
this dog is; she's so much more! Originally Tessa was a bit of a puzzle to
us. As an older girl, living largely alone with her son, she was nervous
upon entry into her foster home. When her nerves didn't cease, a transfer
was made to a multi-dog and person home where her wonderful personality
really started to blossom. Because of this, we are looking for a busy
household for Tessa; somewhere that has multiple dogs and people home with
her and at least some of them around throughout the day.
Tessa will do anything to be with people. She's very very affectionate and
loving. She automatically puts her head down to bury it into your thigh as
she does the Boxer lean. She prances like a deer when you come home and when
you lightly scratch the top of her head, she purrs like a cat. She LOVES to
snuggle. She is fantastic with kids of all ages, super with every other dog,
and I couldn't make up something bad about her!
At bed time she is fine sleeping on her own bed on the main floor. She has
recently discovered the couch and she is quite happy to spend the majority
of her day there or following you around for pets. Tessa is quite smart and
has learned to open sliding and levered handled doors and open baby gates.
Luckily, as long as she has her calming influences (her people or dogs) she
is perfectly content to stay where she is.
She is a perfect lady in a car. Sits quietly (unless a dog is on the
street) and looks out the window. She comes very well when called and
walks behind or beside you when on walks.
The vet did say her vision wasn't the best (she would probably need reading
glasses and shouldn't drive at night) but she is very fit and agile for a
senior gal.
All Tessa wants in life is a family to devote herself too. Why not have it
be yours! |
