Poodle (Miniature) / Anatolian Shepherd Dog

Tessa the Dog needs a home

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.


*******Please read all info! Tessa is located in Arkansas but she is listed for adoption in all of the states that we offer transport to. She will not be transported until she has an adopter waiting for her. Please do not apply if you are not interested in adopting a dog from out of state.*******


10.14.17 Tessa is a sweet girl who is coming into rescue as an owner surrender. Her owner lives in a very rural area which is a common dumping ground for unwanted pets. Tessa's mom had been dumped and was taken in, and then had puppies. One of the puppies is Tessa. She is now a couple of years old and her owner has asked me to help find her a home. She just has too many dogs and can't care for all them. Tessa is very shy but very sweet. She needs a family who will be patient with her while she learns to trust them. Tessa is on the smaller side, weighing 29lbs when I had her spayed recently. Unfortunately, she had heartworms but we have had her treated and she has recovered without any complications. Being young and otherwise healthy, she is not expected to have any lasting affects of the heartworms. Tessa is ready for a family of her very own and will make a loving and loyal to those who show her patience and kindness. For more info, email [email protected]


Adoption fee: $250

Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $300-$350, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $250. This includes spay/neuter if old enough, (If not old enough for spay/neuter, the puppy will be adopted on a spay/neuter contract, which will require the adopter to have him/her spayed/neutered no later than 6 months of age), up to date age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $140 per dog. We use Uber Dog Animal Rescue Transport, and you can see more about them at www.uberdogart.com.
