Hi there, I’m Tessi — and if you’re looking for a loyal, energetic best friend, I might be your girl!I’ve been with my foster family for a couple of months now, and they say I’m a really great dog who just needs someone with a big heart and a little patience. I love being outside — seriously, it’s my favorite thing in the world. If you open a door, I’ll try to sneak out for an adventure, so I’d do best in a home with a yard where I can explore safely.I’ll be honest — being alone is really hard for me. I have some separation anxiety and get pretty upset when my people leave, even if it’s just for a few minutes. I’ve tried being crated, but it makes me scared and I bark a lot, so I’d really love a home where someone’s around most of the time to help me feel safe and loved.I’m super friendly with everyone — men, women, even little kids (I’ve met babies and toddlers and think they’re pretty great!). I get very excited about treats, sometimes a little too excited, but I’m working on taking them more gently. I know a few commands like “sit” and “stay” — when I’m not too distracted, that is — and I walk nicely on a leash.I haven’t met many other dogs yet, so I’m not sure how I’d do in a home with furry siblings. But I promise I’ll give you all my love, every single day. I’m a playful girl who loves to pull the stuffing out of toys and keep them all to myself — I can be a little possessive of my favorites.If you’ve got time, patience, and a lot of love to give, I’ll be the most loyal, loving adventure buddy you could ask for. Are you the one for me?My adoption fee of $50 includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you!
