About this Dog
Welcome Tessa to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 3-year-old Shepherd Mixed with a Small Terrier breed is our best guess. She is medium sized and about 30 pounds. She is a little shy so a person wanting a companion that likes to stay home is her best pick. She would be great for a person that also likes to be at home and is looking for a companion that is content with that. She will just need a smaller yard for exercise. She will bark if she sees something out of place or would be a good alert dog for someone hard of hearing. She is not going to need mounds of exercise. A small walk or run in the yard would be sufficient. I think a senior couple or single would be perfect for Tessa. She is good in her crate and decent on leash. She feels like her crate is a safe place so if you had people over she would be fine in her crate if you wanted her not to be involved with the visitors. She is healthy, spayed and getting her vaccines. She would be ok with children. We would like her kiddos to be 10 or older. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to [email protected] if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See his cute video!!

Adopt Tessa and Receive Tessa's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Tessa's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Tessa's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Tessa, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Tessa's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Tessa was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Tessa’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Tessa’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Tessa’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
