My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tess is a 70-pound black flat-coated retriever with the personality of a golden retriever.

She’s sweet, gentle, and a bit derpy—always happy to be by your side!

Tess loves playing fetch, tug-of-war, and being petted. She’s easy to care for, fully potty-trained, and can go up to 8 hours between potty breaks, according to her foster family.

Tess would make a wonderful companion for a family or anyone who loves retrievers. Whether you live in an apartment or a house, she’s an easy-going dog who enjoys playtime and walks but isn’t overly energetic. She’s perfectly fine being left home alone. However, someone who's home part of the day would be ideal.

* Knows "paw," and "shake"
* No toddlers or super-active kids
* Likes to chase small critters
* Selective about other dogs
* Loves kisses and cuddles
* Doesn't shed much

Come meet this soft, lovable, goofy girl at FAAS before someone claims else her!
