My story

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

Tesla was given a very unfair start to life. She began as a stray in the South and was taken in by a well-meaning individual who was trying to help but became overwhelmed by the number of strays she brought home. Because of this, Tesla found herself uprooted again and surrendered to a crowded, stressful shelter before making the long trip north—all big, overwhelming transitions for a young, sensitive puppy. Once she arrived Tesla was quickly adopted, but she was heartbreakingly returned a month later fearful and insecure. It was clear she hadn’t been given the love, consistency, and attention all dogs—especially puppies—need to feel safe and thrive.

Despite everything she has been through, Tesla remains a sweet, resilient girl who is ready to heal with a family willing to show her patience, stability, and the security she’s been missing. She has stayed gentle, loving, and full of potential through it all. She is learning what love and security means. With time, reassurance, and a steady home, Tesla will truly flourish and blossom into the confident, happy companion she was always meant to be.
