TESSA along  with 3 other dogs (possibly siblings and son)  came to  Give a Dog a Home Rescue, in Sebec, Maine  on Saturday, 7th September 2024 f rom a local breeder who was not able to find homes for them . We post in east coast states and Canada as we have many families adopt and are happy to make the worthwhile trip up to the rescue.  We have had them fixed and vetted and they are now ready for their perfect forever homes and families.

TESSA is spayed, current on vaccines, rabies, monthly preventatives, de-wormed, heartworm and tick disease tested negative and microchipped. TESSA weighs 13.40 pounds and we were told she is around 3 years old. We believe her to be a Bichon / Yorkie mix.

TESSA is a sweet, affectionate girl who is desperate for love and affection. We do not think she is leash trained and although she uses the dog door to go out into the kennel run to do her business, we are not sure that she would know to let her family know she wants to go out - so expecting to work on this should be acceptable to interested families.

We are looking for a family that understands the need of this type of breeds grooming and how quickly matts can form if they are not brushed and trimmed on a regular basis and the additional cost of grooming along with providing good quality food, preventatives as and when needed and of course annual check ups and vet care as and when necessary should all be taken into account.

We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks.    She does need an active family who will ensure she gets all the exercise, both mentally and physically that she needs to live a happy fulfilling life.

TESSA has an adoption fee of $550

Interested families are required to complete our application process and once approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue in SEBEC, Maine to meet and take home their new best friend.

Our process takes 1-2 days as long as we are able to talk to references, so be prepared to be approved (hopefully) to adopt within a few days of submitting the adoption application.
