Facility Dog: Tessi

Meet Tessi, Fairfield East's facility dog. Tessi comes to us from Circle Tail, an organization that trains highly skilled service-oriented dogs. Facility Dogs are specially trained to provide physical, social, cognitive, or emotional assistance to community members in schools/classrooms, courthouses, and more. Having a dog at school can help with improving self-esteem, problem-solving skills, encourage body movement, encourage responsibility, and relieve stress/anxiety. Tessi, loves her toys, treats, and her Fairfield East Family.
