About Tessa
Meet Tessa, an adorable 5-month-old Bull Arab Cross Irish Wolfhound who is destined to be an extra-large gal. This sweet pup has a timid and nervous nature, taking a bit of time to warm up to new people and environments. However, with patience and love, she blossoms into a loyal and affectionate companion.
Tessa is good with other dogs and has even lived with a cat before, showing her adaptability and gentle nature. She would greatly benefit from living with another well-adjusted dog who can act as a role model and help her gain confidence.
As a puppy, Tessa comes with the typical puppy raising challenges. She requires training, guidance, and lots of love to help her grow into a well-behaved and happy adult dog. Her new family should be prepared for the usual puppy antics, including house training, chewing, and setting boundaries.
If you have the patience and heart to help Tessa conquer her fears and become the best version of herself, she will reward you with endless love and loyalty. She is still young and highly malleable, ready to join a loving family that can provide the training and guidance she needs. Come meet Tessa and see if she is the perfect addition to your home!

Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
