My husband and I adopted Tenacious Tess, now known as Lilly-Belle, back in May. I wanted to reach out and share how happy we are with her. She has been such a blessing to our family, especially me. Lilly-Belle thrives in our home with cuddles all day long and one-on-one attention from me while I do my grad school work during the day. In the evening, when my daughter comes home from daycare, she and Lilly-Belle get so excited to see each other that it would warm your heart. If you can't find Lilly-Belle in the house nine times out of ten, she is watching over the baby in the crib. It is her baby, and I supply everyone with food.

Lilly-Belle has come a long way on walking on a leash. She used to sit down after 5 minutes of walking and did not want to move. We now go for a couple of miles. Once she catches a scent, we go a little longer. She learned to wait for permission to go out the door and eat her food. She also learned "leave it" and "kennel kennel." I love how social she is with other families in our neighborhood and other dogs. Her playful attitude wins everyone over. We take her to play with other dogs at doggie day camp every so often so she can be around other dogs, and she always comes home exhausted.

Thank you for helping us find a wonderful girl! We are so glad she is ours.
