My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Bessie and I just arrived from Alabama! In Alabama I was around other dogs with no issue. I currently live with my foster family (a human mom, dad, and 3 kids ages 10, 7, and 3). They all LOVE me and give me hugs, belly rubs, and ear scratches. They call me their sweet and silly "bat dog" ... something about my ears apparently ;)

I walk nicely on a leash and have not pulled too much unless I spy a friend I desperately want to meet. I really love being outside... I think I would like a fenced yard so I can hang independently from time to time. I don’t love going potty with someone real close by, but if long walks are your thing, I can do that too! I am not high energy inside the home, but if offered some playtime, I am game! Mom says I'm just so accommodating. And have you SEEN my puppy dog eyes? Secret weapon ;)

I quietly sleep in my crate overnight AND when mom goes to work. When she's working from home, I closely supervise. My favorite treat is peanut butter. Oh! Don't forget to ask about my army crawl sprawl!

I am looking for a family who has room in their hearts and home for a big, gentle, and fun snuggle bug!! It just might be YOU!

All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

Please note that the majority of our dogs in rescue are from shelters where they have been found as strays or abandoned. Their breed description is based on our very best educated guess based on physical characteristics and their dispositions. If they came to our rescue as an owner surrender, the breed description will be listed as provided by the previous owner.

More about this rescue

The mission of Warrior Dog Rescue is to save the dogs that are homeless, left abandoned in shelters, are surrendered by their owners, those that are being abused and neglected, and those that are left wandering. We are committed to providing them the medical care they need, helping them to overcome their past by providing them loving, educated foster homes, finding them their perfect forever home by means of a thorough adoption process, and guiding them on their journey into their new life. They all deserve a “good dog life… every single one of them.”

Warrior Dog Rescue will be a model rescue by partnering with overcrowded shelters that need to make room for more abandoned dogs. We will continue to educate others about responsible dog ownership in regards to safety, spay/neuter, nutrition, obedience, socializing, abuse, and neglect. We acknowledge that we will have a role in this industry to take the lead on providing awareness to others in the community and across the country. Every dog will know what it feels like to be loved till the end of their life.
