We are animal rescuers- in addition to our own 8 rescue dogs (most special needs) we’ve fostered and rehomed 23 dogs.
We would like to thank you for supporting Chad and Tessa in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We met 11 years ago on the website Plenty of Fish. I messaged him twice, it took him until the second message before he finally responded. We were on and off for a really long time. We both had some things we needed to work on. But we’ve been back together since 2018 and married since 2020.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?This is really hard, because we’ve done so many different things together. But I will say that my favorite thing that we’ve done is built the legacy we have of rescuing animals. Everybody knows us as the animal people, and I think that’s a great thing to be known as. Superficially, I would say my favorite activity we have done is our Disney cruise. A super expensive three day vacation long time ago, but it combined our love of Disney with the relaxation of a cruise. Perfect vacation.
What would you do with $20,000?We live in a very old house that we have been spending thousands of dollars on renovating. So the money we get would go towards that. It would also go towards the care of our animals and possibly allow us to take in some more. We would also take a quick vacation, somewhere to spend time together.
