Adopt Tess

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Tess is a lovely mixed breed dog who arrived at the shelter through a transfer from a pound. Unfortunately, we know nothing about her past, but one thing is certain: she is full of kindness and affection. Always happy to see us, Tess greets every moment with enthusiasm and good humor. She is playful, social, and very close to humans; she enjoys company and actively seeks out cuddles and playtime. She is also quite a food lover, which will help with her training and further strengthen the bond with her future family. At the shelter, Tess is clean in her enclosure and does not seem destructive. She gets along well with other dogs and can live with respectful children. Regarding cats, we are not yet sure about her compatibility. In terms of health, Tess had a mass removed from a front leg. A histological analysis is currently underway to learn more.

C’est aussi une grande gourmande, ce qui pourra faciliter son éducation et renforcer encore davantage la complicité avec sa future famille. Au refuge, Tess se montre propre dans son box et ne semble pas destructrice. Elle s’entend bien avec les autres chiens et pourra vivre avec des enfants respectueux. Concernant les chats, nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes. Côté santé, Tess a subi le retrait d’une masse sur une patte avant. Une analyse histologique est actuellement en cours afin d’en savoir plus.
