About Bessie

Bessie is a sweet 3-year-old, 55-pound Pit Bull mix with a heart full of love and a story of resilience. Once facing a grim fate in a high-kill shelter while heavily pregnant, she has since found her way to safety. After giving birth and seeing her puppies off to loving homes, it's now Bessie's turn to find her forever family. This affectionate black-and-white girl loves curling up next to her humans, enjoying cozy movie nights, and soaking up as much love as she can get. Despite having undergone double FHO hip surgery in her past, her spirit remains unbroken, and she radiates joy in all she does. Bessie is great with submissive dogs and also gets along well with children. However, she has been known to clear a fence if she sees fit, so she’ll need a secure area or leash when outdoors. After all she has conquered, Bessie deserves a stable and loving home to call her own. Think you have the love she needs? Apply now!
