My story

Bessie is a special girl looking for a very special adopter- someone who understands her needs and can keep her safe. She’s an affectionate playful dog who originally came to PACC with a pal in 2020. In her prior home she was housebroken and her owners described her as a very sweet girl who loves hot dogs, playing, and snuggling. Bessie was adopted two more times after her initial return to the shelter but hasn`t found her perfect fit. In her most recent home, she did well with other resident dogs (big and small), was housebroken, and was described as a sweet, playful girl who loves squeaky toys. “Bessie is a LOVE with her person. Playful. Affectionate. Sweet. She rocks the muzzle. It`s hard to reconcile that dog with the dog she is when meeting people on leash, which she struggles with tremendously. She needs a home where she has guidance every step of the way.”- PACC volunteer“Bessie takes time to warm up to new people, new dogs, and new situations, but once you are her friend, she will be your friend for life. Bessie will need an experienced partner to help her adjust, but with a little patience she will gain confidence and become a loving, loyal, and trusted companion.”- PACC volunteerBessie is struggling in the shelter environment and is looking for an experienced, savvy owner. She`ll do best in a quiet home without constant activity and visitors. She`s done well sharing her kennel with another shelter pup, but she’ll need a proper introduction to any resident dogs. If you can help give Bessie the stability she needs and deserves, and can work with her on building confidence and modifying her behavior in new situations, please ask about her today!Email to ask about her!Megan: Megan.Lumpkin@pima.govJamie: Jamie.Macias@pima.gov

If you have any questions or would like to adopt BESSIE (AKA LUNA), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
