IDEAL HOME: For Tessa, CHR is requiring that applicants currently own a toy breed or have a history of owning one in the past. The reason is that toy breeds have special health and safety needs due to their tiny size. We are also requiring a fenced yard of any size. If there are other dogs in the home, we are asking that they weigh no more than 12 pounds.

Meet Tessa!

Tessa is a 1-year-old Imperial Shih Tzu who only weighs 5.5 pounds.

Tessa is a lively little girl who still has a lot of puppy energy. She loves to cuddle with her humans and be close to them. She enjoys playing by herself or engaging in “tag” with other young dogs. She gets along well with other dogs.

Tessa would do best in a home where she is not left alone all day.

If you think Tessa is the right dog for you, please apply.
