My story

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

Hello, I’m Tessa!

I’m a lovely senior German Shepherd, and my journey has been quite an adventure. It all began when I was abandoned in an industrial area in Central Arkansas with a young puppy. I think he might be my grandson, but nobody really knows for sure. Life was tough for us out there, huddling together outside in the elements, until one day, a group of wonderful people who worked in the factory found us. They brought us indoors, giving us warmth and a sense of safety for a few nights.

Not long after, a caring rescue group took us in, and I’ve been grateful ever since. With my mellow nature and sweet spirit, I'm a big fan of cozy naps and gentle cuddles. I'm very good with other dogs, and I have a particular love for that little puppy who has been my companion. While we're unsure of our exact connection, I know in my heart that we share an unbreakable bond.

Now, I’m on the lookout for a forever home where I can spend my golden years in comfort and love. If you’re looking for a sweet senior to care for, I promise to bring so much joy into your life!
I’m also hoping my grandson can find a wonderful place, too, so we can both live happily ever after. I hope a young family will see him and fall in love with Gunner!

Thank you for considering me—I can’t wait to meet you!
