About Bessie

Bessie is a medium-sized Labrador Retriever puppy who will surely tug at your heartstrings. This gentle girl is still discovering that the world and people can be welcoming.

Bessie adores squeaky toys and, once she’s warmed up, loves cuddling on laps. She may not be the type to rush up to everyone for affection, but she has an endearing spirit just waiting to shine.
