Tessie has been at the SPA since 2013. Now about eight years old, she is still a beautiful medium-sized Golden Retriever mix with sparkling eyes. She knows how to sit on command and is happy to do so, especially for a treat. She loves to cuddle and get attention and walks easily on a leash, although she likes to stop and sniff a lot when she’s outside. So why is she still at the SPA?

We often receive Facebook messages about an animal that has been abandoned or being mistreated. The writer wants us to send someone to help that poor cat or dog. However, as much as we would like to do so, the S.P.A. is not capable of getting involved directly with these types of situations, heartbreaking though they are.
