My story

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

🎄 Tessa — The Heart-Melter 🎄

Meet Tessa, the 2-year-old Heeler mix with a heart so gentle it could make even the Grinch’s grow three sizes. This soft, sensitive girl can be shy in new situations, but with a kind voice and a patient hand, she blossoms into the sweetest snuggle-bug around.

When she’s not crawling into a volunteer’s lap for comfort, she’s happily romping with her doggy pals in the yard. Kid-tested and kid-approved, Tessa adores little humans—as long as they’ve got room for one very loving lap dog. With her tender spirit and submissive nature, Tessa is ready to warm up any home faster than a cup of holiday cocoa.

To learn even more about Tessa, call or text Lisa at 865-310-2599 or apply on our website!
