My name is Tess!

Tess is a charming 6-year-old Cavalier who weighs in at 14.8 pounds of pure sweetness. She's a friendly girl who might be a little shy at first, but with some patience (and a few treats), she'll quickly warm up and show you her loving personality. 

Tess enjoys the company of the other dogs in her foster home but loves nothing more than being at her foster mom's side.
If you're looking for a sweet and affectionate companion who will brighten your days with her kind heart and adorable personality, Tess might be the perfect match for you!

*All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne disease, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped.

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
