Adopt Tess

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Tess is a lovely 4-year-old Lurcher with lots of personality and plenty of love to give. She’s a friendly girl who really enjoys being around people and will happily soak up all the cuddles and attention you’re willing to give. Tess enjoys getting out and about for her walks and having a good run around and play in the pen. She can be a little strong on the lead at times, so she’ll need a confident owner who is happy to guide her and continue working on her lead manners. With the right support and consistency, she’ll make a fantastic walking companion. Tess can sometimes be a little boisterous when she’s excited, which is all part of her fun-loving nature. Because of this, she would need to be the only dog in the household for the time being so she can enjoy all the attention and continue her training. Tess could potentially live with older, dog-savvy children following a successful introduction. Tess is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves both playtime and cuddles, and she’s sure to make a wonderful companion.
