This lovely lady was picked up as a stray and brought to an overcrowded shelter, where all of the loud sounds and smells were incredibly scary. Eventually, she found her way into another rescue to make sure her second chance was set up for success. That rescue later reached out for help with some of the dogs in their care, and as we all know, teamwork makes the dream work, so MAGSR didn't think twice before stepping forward to assist.

Tessa is a loving honey. Her amazing fosters have been helping her learn about the joys of being a puppy and taking in the world around her. With opportunities to go for walks in the cooler evenings, Tessa loved to play in the long grass and chase water in the creek. A big cuddler, she is friendly, young, affectionate, and resilient. She has done well with other dogs and absolutely adores children. With a high prey drive, she definitely doesn't think of cats in the same way. Super-social with people, Tessa especially loves to snuggle with her people, but does understand the concept of toys and has good energy. A bit of a goofball, she sometimes puts her whole snout into the water dish when getting a good drink. This sweet girl rides perfectly in the car and is non-reactive to other cars or animals that she passes. Like many dogs of this breed, Tessa will thrive when both her body and mind are kept active through exercise. A home with daily physical and mental stimulation would help her shine. Continuing her training and socialization will go a long way with this smart cutie. Not only will training help her develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen as an adult. Similar to any new dog, Tessa will thrive with structure, routine, leadership, and clear expectations from a calm and confident handler. This will help her adjust to the expectations of her forever family. If you're looking for a pup to snuggle up with you and make you laugh, ask to meet Tessa today.
