BESSIE

My story

My name is Bessie and my foster mom says I am the sweetest girl ever! I am bashful and shy at first but willing to become friends. I have two big dogs in my foster home and I love being their shadow and hanging out with them everywhere they go. I would really like my forever home to have another dog in it to play with me and help me build my confidence. I am submissive and would likely follow the lead of any confident dog. I love to be outside and wander the backyard- bonus if you have a squeaky ball I can fetch. I’ve just started doing zoomies and boy are those fun! I am still pretty scared of being on a leash, so a fenced yard is required in my new home to keep me safe. I am housetrained and kennel trained. I sleep all night without a peep. I love my kennel, it’s my safe space. I am a little nervous in the car but sit very nicely and calm. I like the older kids in my foster home, it’s fun when they play ball with me or give me treats. And they brush me which I really like. I think little kids would scare me as they are a bit more unpredictable and noisy. I am doing very well adjusting to all the new things in my foster home. My foster mom says I am such a good girl and very smart. I would love to find a forever home that will be patient and help me continue to come out of my shell, could that be you?
