Editor's note: This is a weekly series called "Pet of the Week" where we feature a companion up for adoption from Dakota County animal rescues.

Tessie is a darling 3-year-old beagle mix who weighs 35 pounds. She may have a little basset hound in her as her body is fairly long. She is wonderful with other dogs, ok with cats and is very sweet with people.

She is crate trained and doing well on housetraining when let out on a schedule. She will need a fenced yard to explore in her new home.

Tessie is spayed, fully vetted, and microchipped. She's in fostercare in Lakeville with a 501c3 rescue.

Please email happyhoundrescue@aol.com for more information on how to adopt Tessie.

Thank you for considering adopting a rescue dog.
