My story

Hi there! I’m Tessa, Atlanta`s Most Adoptable Senior dog (according to the judges at Doggy Con 2024!). I`m also a sweet girl who loves the cozy comforts of home, especially when it comes to quiet naps. But don’t let that fool you—I also have a playful side! I adore going for walks, especially to the park for a little puppachino treat. Oh, and my potty habits? Always spot on; I do my business outside like a champ!When I meet new people, I’m all about that soft, wiggly energy! My tail wags, and I keep my leash loose as I approach, eagerly soliciting pets. I’ve even met kids, and I reacted the same way—lots of wiggling and happiness all around!I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve—I`ve mastered `sit,` `down,` and `shake,` and I absolutely love playing fetch with tennis balls in the yard.I have a medium energy level, so a nice mile run or multiple walks each day is right up my alley. I have met cats and dogs in my foster stays, and do welcome any furry pals.Just a heads up—I’m a bit picky with my food. I prefer wet food, but I’ll nibble on some dry if it’s mixed in. Overall, I’m a cuddly companion who can’t wait to find my forever home! I’m trusting, happy, and loving, with plenty of good energy for an 12-year-old. If you’re looking for a snuggle buddy who’s ready to share some joy, I might just be the perfect match for you!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tessa, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
