Meet Bess! This delightful girl resembles a lovely Lab/Hound mix, and let me tell you, she is the embodiment of joy! 🌟 Surrendered as a stray, this sweetheart came to us without much of a backstory, but what we do know is that she brings sunshine into any room she enters! Her estimated date of birth is December 16, 2021, making her a fabulous Sagittarius—a sign known for its adventurous and upbeat spirit! 🌈 With a playful heart, as of May 2025, Bess tipped the scales at 41 pounds, but don’t let that fool you. What she truly carries is a bountiful wealth of love waiting to shine in her forever home. Bess is a happy-go-lucky girl who has unfortunately been waiting for her loving family for way too long. When you first meet her, she might be a touch shy (who isn’t a little nervous meeting new people, right?), but all it takes is a sprinkle of patience and a dash of love, and she warms up quickly! And oh boy, she absolutely adores tummy rubs! You could spend hours showering her with love and she would savor every single second—just be ready for plenty of slobbery kisses! 💋 Bess isn’t just a pretty face; she’s also quite the smart cookie! She knows a handful of commands including her name, 'come', 'leave-it', 'sit', and 'down'. However, she can be a tad selective with her canine companions, so it's highly encouraged to bring your dog along for a meet and greet before making any decisions. 🐾 So why not come meet Bess today? She's waiting for someone just like you—someone to provide the love and patience she needs to truly thrive! Remember, the journey to forever can start right here with this lovable gal. And don’t forget, to adopt Bess, it’s super easy to *apply through the Buddy App*! Let’s change her world together!
