A little about them

Bessie is a sweet, sensitive 2-year-old mixed-breed dog who was rescued from a hoarding situation in Tupelo, Mississippi, along with more than 200 other dogs. Having had very little human interaction, she is overwhelmed at the shelter and has shut down—but beneath her fear is a loving dog ready to blossom with patience, kindness, consistency, and compassion.

Ideal Home

Bessie needs a patient, gentle home willing to give her time to feel safe and discover what it means to be loved.
