My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This gorgeous German shepherd is Tessa, a sweet and friendly lady that is about 8 years old and hopes to find herself a great new home. Tessa had a home but when her owner recently became ill and could no longer care for her, Tessa's world was turned upside down. She is putting on a brave face though and is making friends and hoping to get noticed real soon. Tessa is a bright and bubbly girl that is always happy to meet new people. She's a little shy at first but quickly gives you a sniff-test, then you're her best friend. Tessa is so well behaved and has had lots of training. She sits and offers you a pawshake when asked, is very gentle with taking treats, and walks like a perfect lady on a leash. Tessa is older and has hip dysplasia which she will need supplements for indefinitely, but she has lots of spunk and energy and can run and play with the best of them. She will run after a toy and even picks it up, but then moves on to smelling a tree or whatever else interests her. She enjoys getting attention and is a real leaner too. Tessa is anxious when she sees other dogs so if you have a dog, she will need a couple of meet-and-greets. She is ready and waiting to meet the family that will give her the happy life that she deserves. File#27050 2/15/17
