Tess von Tessen is a beautiful 12 month old plush coated German Shepherd. As you can tell from her pictures, this gorgeous love bug returns any affection you give her and really tries to communicate with you. When she finishes with her daily exuberant walk, she settles in to play with her peanut butter kong (her favorite), rope and chew toys. On hot days she plunges into the kiddie pool to see how much water she can fling about. Although this smart cutie knows her basic commands and is housebroken and crate-trained, she still has some puppy mischief and requires supervision. Her foster home includes other dogs and she likes children (we suggest no toddlers because Tess still is puppy-mouthy). If you are looking for a furry family member that weighs about 55-65 pounds and is eager to make you happy, ask for an introduction to Tess. (No cats, please.)
