Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). Meet Tessa — the sweet, silly, and spirited girl searching for her forever family! Located in Alexandria, VA. At about 19 months old, this spayed, fully vaccinated sweetheart has the perfect mix of puppy playfulness and snuggly companion energy. She’s affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she gets to be close to her person. Personality Tessa is a gentle, loving pup with a soft heart. She adores cuddles, staying close to her people, and being part of whatever you’re doing — from movie nights to morning routines. In new or busy environments Tessa can be a little skittish, and she may tuck herself behind her trusted human until she’s sure everything is safe. Loud noises and unfamiliar activity can make her nervous, too — but give her a few minutes, some calm reassurance, and a friendly tone, and she warms up beautifully. Once she feels secure, her confidence, curiosity, and goofiness shine. She’s a quiet girl who rarely barks — she prefers observing the world rather than announcing herself in it (unless a squirrel breaks the rules). She has a strong playful streak and loves squeaky toys, gentle affection, and quality time being your shadow. Social Skills Great with adults Good with kids — best suited for homes with school-aged children and up (she may politely herd tiny toddlers) Dog-friendly and does well at dog parks Unknown with cats Low-barker — calm and quiet by nature Favorite Activities Chasing squirrels and day-dreaming about Canada geese Side-eyeing mail trucks (they’re definitely up to something) Calmly watching fire trucks go by like a pro Cuddling up close and soaking in attention Feeling the squeak-squeak power in her favorite toys Ideal Home Tessa will thrive with a family who: ✅ Has older kids (not toddlers) ✅ Enjoys a sweet, affectionate dog who sticks close ✅ Can offer patience and reassurance in new or loud environments ✅ Likes a playful but quiet companion Tessa is a gentle soul with a goofy spirit — a loving shadow who will make you smile every day. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and slightly quirky best friend who just needs a bit of confidence-boosting and a lot of love, Tessa may be the perfect match.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
