Food does not = LOVE... or fidelity - Dangerously overweight and dumped too!!

My new DDRI Rescue Squad Angels sent me to the fat farm...
Now my treats come from love and affection - and I'm enjoying life again!!
Eat your heart out Kirstie Allie!!

Seven year-old Tessa was turned over to DDR when her owner, who'd had her since she was a wee baby, could no longer keep her due to financial troubles. When she came into foster she weighted a whopping 123 pounds! Clearly her owner thought love equaled food and she was getting lots of treats with no exercise. On a good solid diet, less treats, and lots of walks she is now down to 112 pounds. Tessa is very good with cats and little dogs but the big dogs scare her. Being a bit of an alpha she would be best in a home without another alpha dog. She is also very nervous around small children so a home without children would be best. Tessa is a very good girl and loves to go for car rides, walks, and when it's hot, enjoys wading in a pool.

Special Needs if any: Proin and inexpensive thyroid meds.

Geographic areas: Northeastern states including New England

The Sponsor A Senior program helps Seniors by raising funds for their rescue programs. This helps offset some of the additional costs that come with caring for a senior (diet, medications, supplements, etc.). Please read more about this program on the Sponsor A Senior page.

Miss Tessa is looking for a sponsor! The cost to sponsor a Senior Dobe is $30 per month or $360 per year. You can sponsor a Senior for one month, one year, or somewhere in between. To sponsor Miss Tessa, use the PayPal button below or visit the Sponsor A Senior page for instructions on sending a check. Thank you for any help you can give, it is MUCH appreciated!
