Story
Meet Tez- The Goofy, Playful, Food-Motivated Adventurer
Tez is a handsome, seasoned German Shepherd mix who’s ready to start his exciting next chapter. This charming guy looks for adventure in the everyday and doesn’t let much slow him down. Whether it’s exploring the yard, going for a stroll, or just supervising the household, Tez likes to be part of the action and close to his people.
He’s begun making doggie friends at the shelter and is learning the ropes of socializing—he’s not a pro yet, but he’s putting in the effort and making progress. With the right introductions and a little patience, he could continue to blossom.
Tez is a certified foodie at heart. Snacks are the way to his soul, and he has a special fondness for “junk food” treats like Nudges Jerky or Beggin’ Strips. (Hey, we all have our favorites, and Tez is delightfully non-judgmental about it!) His love of treats also makes him extra motivated to learn and train.
When it comes to toys, Tez is an enthusiastic stuffy connoisseur. He adores plush toys… though their lifespan may be short in his care. For Tez, every stuffed toy is a thrilling mystery box—the real prize being the squeaker inside!
This smart boy is house-trained and already knows several cues. He’s eager to learn more, especially if tasty rewards are involved. Tez would thrive in a home without young children, as their busy energy can overwhelm him. He’d also prefer a home where his meals and treats are respected as his own—after all, sharing snacks is hard for anyone!
If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion with personality, heart, and a dash of silly charm, Tez might just be your guy.

Tez is an All-Star dog! His adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption. Their adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and they will go home with their very own no-pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get them off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Tez, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you!
Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.
Ask fosters@ahconnects.org about fostering Tez, while he waits for his forever home!
