My name is Tess. My foster mom says I am a good girl and so darn cute. I am 2-3 years old.
I’m a Boxer pit mix. I have a gorgeous brindle coat! Looks like a tiger! I have a little bit of white on my chest. I weigh about 45 pounds. I’m
the perfect medium size dog.
I live with two other dogs. We get along great. I am not real sure about cats but am willing to try it out. Sometimes I get a little protective of my foster mom. I will growl at the other dogs until I am redirected then things are fine. I love attention and belly rubs.
I am potty trained. I am not a fan of being in a kennel. With my foster parents being home all the time I don’t have to go in it. But in order for me to be successful they are going to start putting me in a few hours at a time.
I love toys! Especially ones that squeak! But my favorite toys are the ones I can chew on!
I am a free spirit! I love to run as fast as I can while leaping over any obstacles in my yard. I love playing in the water! I definitely need a yard with a fence. My foster mom was told I was a fence hopper but she has a six foot fence and I’ve had no problems. I will need a family with patience that can continue to do basic training with me.
I enjoy having dog siblings but could do really well as a one dog family. I think older human siblings (9 and up) would be a better fit for me.
I want to be a member of your “FUR”ever family!!!
