Bessie is a small Chihuahua mix with a gentle, sensitive nature. She arrived in Pensacola, FL from another area in search of a softer landing and a home where she’ll feel secure. At first, Bessie tends to hang back and observe new people and places, but after a couple of days, she begins to settle and show a much warmer, affectionate side. If you offer her patience and understanding, she quickly reveals herself as a sweet and loving companion. Bessie is still uneasy about leashes, so she'll need a gentle hand, a bit of encouragement, and a calm environment as she learns to walk confidently. She’s looking for someone who knows that trust isn’t instant but is happy to give her the space and routine she needs to come out of her shell. Bessie is vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and ready for a safe, comfortable home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
