🧠 Temperament
Tessa is a very sweet dog who is pet-friendly, gentle with humans, and incredibly affectionate. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
She can be a little shy with new people, but only takes a few quiet moments and chin scratches to win her over. Mixes are often excellent city dogs.
