My story

Are you ready to go, go, GO? Whether it's learning new tricks or hitting the trail, Teresa is all about the great outdoors!

"Teresa is a great dog! Her boundless energy will keep the most active person on their toes." -Jane, former foster

-Teresa is a gorgeous, sweet girl who is currently the reigning champ for best ears at the shelter.
-This brindle beauty is a rockstar in playgroup, helping other dogs (including puppies!)come out of their shell. She's also lived with dogs of all sizes and had a blast with them.
-Teresa looooves when her humans work from home (all the better to keep her company and feed her snacks!).

Be the envy of your neighborhood and bring this showstopper home today! Teresa is ready to join your pack.
