Meet Tessa

Hi… my name is Tessa. I’m a 7-year-old lovable little “mixed muffin,” and if you sat down next to me, I’d probably curl right up into you like I’ve known you forever. Cuddling is my favorite thing… it makes me feel safe. I’ve been waiting for my forever home since 2023. I watch other dogs come and go, leaving with their new families, and I always wonder when it will be my turn. They say it’s because I need to be the only animal in the home. I don’t really understand that part… I just know I have so much love to give, I wish someone would want it all for themselves. I’m really good with people—big ones, little ones, all of them. I’m housebroken, I love my toys, and I get so excited for outings. But at the end of the day, all I really want is a couch to snuggle on and someone to call mine. I promise, if you choose me, I’ll be your best friend for the rest of my life. I’m still waiting… hoping that my person finds me soon.
