Here's what the humans have to say about me:
URGENT FOSTER NEEDED
Hi, my name is Bessie. I am a sweet 6-year-old girl! I somehow found myself on the streets of Los Angeles. I was rescued by a good samaritan who brought me to PPITS.
I have received professional training that will be passed down to my future forever family for free.
I get along best with large dogs with proper introduction. I can be around smaller dogs with a proper introduction, but it's probably best for me to hang with the big dogs.
I'm an energetic and playful girl that would do best in a home with a yard where I can run around. I have been working very hard on social etiquette, learning not to jump on people (I just get so excited and happy when I meet them!) But, my trainer has taught me how to control myself and be a good girl! I would do best in a home with a yard (so I can run and play) and with no small children.
Ever since I was rescued, I’ve been waiting for my forever home. Because I have been on board and training for so long, I would be super grateful for a foster home! It’s only temporary, ya know.
I have so much love to give and want a nice home to call my own where I can sit on the couch and snuggle with my human. Will that be you?
