Trying this again because my last post inexplicably got hijacked :/
Tessa is a 4 year old, blue Doberman Pinscher. As you can see, she is neither cropped nor docked.
Please read this entire post if you're interested in adopting, as most questions will be answered!
I would prefer if potential adopters were current or previous client in good standing with Pet Styles of Kettering, or be referred by one of our amazing clients. I just would love to know she is safe with someone I know and can remain in contact with. However, anyone who has a great application with veterinary references and seems like a great match for Tessa is so welcome to inquire!
I will groom Tessa no charge for the rest of her life.
Tessa is a friend to all! She loves dogs, cats, children, ferrets, and folks of any gender. She is literally every human's instant bestie. Yesterday, she even got to see goats and horses. While she was startled at first, she quickly became less interested with slow exposure.
Tessa is spayed and up to date on all her vaccines. I just groomed her last night and she was a ange6l sent from heaven. She sat like a true ✨diva✨ while I clipped, ground, and painted her nails.
Tessa needs some light behavioural work. A home will need a privacy height fence in order to be considered for adoption, as she will bounce over and go on a wild, jaunty promenade. We want Tessa to be safe! She needs work on a safe and reliable recall.
She needs work on not jumping up when greeting or excited. She knows sit, and yesterday we worked on stay. She listened when I said UP, whether it to be in the car (she's a great driving buddy!) or into the bathtub, or up on to my grooming table.
Tessa REQUIRES an active family. She is curious and inquisitive, and up for anything, and a lot of her overly rambunctious, goofy behaviors will improve just with daily enrichment, exercise, and interaction. She is a smart girl who is VERY willing to please and wants to see the world with that special someone.
If my ankle biting army would allow it, I would adopt Tessa. Like, for real. I'm obsessed with her.
Please TEXT me, Kristina, at ninethreeseven-nineninezero-sevennineninefour and I will send an adoption application and coordinate with her current foster. WE WILL BE PICKY.
I am willing to help transport her to the right person within a reasonable distance.
If you would like to share Tessa's post on the book of faces, just look up Pet Styles of Kettering and share from there.
(Rehoming fee will be applied as a donation to a local animal foundation or applied as a credit to the adopter's veterinary clinic for future care of Tessa.)
