Meet Tessa

A FUN-LOVING FRIEND:  Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 16 lbs.    Hi, my name is Tessa!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I am so happy to be on my way to a great home with a loving family of my own.  In the meantime, the volunteers are making sure I have lots of love and good care, so I will be a happy girl when it is time to start life in my new home.  • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts and I’m most comfortable with small, more mellow dogs that won’t paw my face, so - if you have a mellow dog about my size who may like a doggie friend, let’s meet and see if we can be pals! I wasn’t a fan of the 2 Chihuahua mixes that were in my temporary foster home. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over or that may fall on me. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a fun, playful, active girl with a sweet and friendly nature.  When I see people, I am happy and a bit jumpy with enthusiasm. I love to follow my person around.  I may circle their feet a bit and being so small, this may make me a tripping hazard for some. Also, please keep a good hold of my leash as I sometimes bark and lunge at passing cars.  / My energy level is 5 - 7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I am learning lots of great doggie commands with my trainer.  I know the ‘sit’ and ‘down’ commands so far and look forward to learning more. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty habits have been pretty good on the shelter schedule with barely any accidents.  When I visited a temp. foster home, I had a few accidents.  Please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can master my potty skills.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love to play and be active with the nice volunteers. Toys are great, and I enjoy playing with them at the shelter, so I am sure I will love them in my new home, too! In my temp. foster home, I was carrying a toy everywhere I went with me! The volunteers learned that I like having my coat brushed after my bath, so let’s keep that up!  I enjoy going for walks and the volunteers have also learned that I like eating my meals in the evenings, so that may be the case in my new home too. / I can’t think of any real dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I am looking for a loving home where I will be a treasured member of the family!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
