• “Bessie is a wild child. She is also a super sweet and friendly Chocolate English Lab.“

  — Deven G.

• “I’m a small, sporty dog who loves to swim! Breaking rules is not cool, I love being a good girl and thrive off praise and scratches from everyone I meet🐾“

  — Heather R.

• “I LOVE to run and play but I prefer to play alone… other dogs (aside from my goofball brother) make me nervous, so I stick pretty close to my fam.“

  — Carla W.

• “I'm Bessie! I'm very friendly to people and full of energy! I love my dog sister but other dogs scare me at first. I love to run around, chase small animals, play catch, and sniff!“

  — Lauren B.

• “Bessie was rescued from a large hoarding situation in 2023. She had heart worms but otherwise healthy 2 year old English lab. She is so sweet, gets along with other dogs and all ages of humans.“

  — Sharon H.

• “Hi I’m Bessie i’m a little picky with new friends and I get really nervous, but once i’m warmed up i’ll be your best friend! I don’t love to share my toys but i’ll chase you around for hours!“

  — Isabella S.

• “Happy baby! I like kids (because they run around like I do), belly scratches, and treats of course. Don't be fooled by my energy though; after my zoomies are gone, I'm gonna want to just lay down with you (naps are fine too).“

  — Tia G.

• “I am an almost two year Great Pyrenees mix who had a rough start in life. I am a rescue who was adopted 3/2022. I am initially fearful of unfamiliar dogs/people. I am a wonderful, sweet girl who has a family that is madly in love with me.“

  — Mary L.

• “Bessie is generally a low energy dog but having the option to take her to a place where we don’t have to worry about other dogs is so nice. She’s never met a human she doesn’t like. She’s a staffy who has a lot of love to give and we are so happy we rescued her!“

  — Ana V.

• “Hi! I'm Bessie. I'm 7 years old and I was recently adopted. I come off a little strong with my bark but I'm the nicest around! Maybe that's just my way of protecting my new family but I absolutely love seeing new people. My previous owners say I'm good around other dogs but we are still figuring that out. I do have 5 kitty friends at home that I do great with. Thanks for reading. :)“

  — Chelsie S.

• “I came from Tennessee on a convoy after having been given up at least once. I was in the shelter for two months and spayed when I was four months old. My mom worked with a behaviorist when I was about a year old. I’m not aggressive, but I can look like I am. I have ambivalence about strangers, I want to meet them, but if they are afraid of me, I am afraid of them. I have a lot of good friends and family who love me. Mom has taught me so much through Susan Garrett’s online training. I love to sniff. My breeds are: 28.3% #Mountain Cur 21.7% Labrador Retriever 20.1% American Pit Bull Terrier 13.3% Boston Terrier 11.2% Chinese Shar-Pei 5.4% American Staffordshire Terrier“
