Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Shorewood, Illinois

Meet Tessa, an approximate 3 month old terrier mix puppy. Tessa is expected to be a small to medium size breed dog once full grown and she currently weighs about 8#. If you're looking for a sweet and somewhat shy lil lady, Tessa is your match! Tessa is currently being fostered in a home with another dog, cats and kids. It takes Tessa a few minutes to warm up after she's observed what's going on around her. Once she comes out of her shell, her sweetness shines bright and she's ready to go. Being on the shy side, she is looking for a patient family and potential fur sibling to help lead the way and boost her confidence. Due to her age, she is working on potty training and being redirected thru her teething stage. If you are looking for all things puppy and are willing to continue her training please submit an application to make her part of your family.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
