mother. All 5 are all now safe with Pawfect match and in foster homes learning the ropes to get them ready for life in their forever homes. Bessie will never have to know the life of living outside in the elements instead she will live a cozy life in a home with a dog bed and treats and never have to go hungry again. In just a short time Bessie has shown her appreciation to her foster Mom with lots of kisses. She will sit for a treat and takes them from your hand very gently. Bessie thinks belly rubs are the best. We are still learning more about this sweet girl and will update her bio accordingly. Bessie is doing well on walks, working on her leash manners. She will "heal" on command for her foster! What a smart girl. *Pupdate* Wow this dog is amazing! Bessie has done great with both dogs in her foster home. (1 small and 1 large dog) Bessie is BFFs with the senior kitty too. Bessie and the foster dog Skye love to zoom around the back yard playing. They have even been found cuddling in the same crate together. Bessie loves attention, head pets, belly rubs, any and all toys, naps on the couch or a dog bed or even just a blanket on the floor. Bessie is good and respectful of the 9 month old baby in the foster home and loves the fosters teenage son. She is great in the car just hangs out for the ride. Bessie is quiet, great in a crate, knows to only go potty outside and will let you know by going to the back door and if you ignore her she will come nudge you. She would be an amazing addition to almost any home. She just needs someone to give her a change. Bessie had a spa day today and the groomer said she did great for her bath, blow dry and brush! Bessie update from foster. She is great with the foster's 10 mo old, she waits patiently when he is in the highchair for him to drop food, lol. She also ignores him when he is scooting around in his walker. Bessie does not know the different between a dog toy and baby toy or sometimes even a shoe left unattended however she is easily corrected to drop ii/leave it and given an appropriate dog toy instead. She is a cattle dog mix so her breed are workers and herders. Bessie can sometimes use her mouth as an extension of her paws/hands when playing with her foster. She is not biting she is using her built in skills to lead/guide. Bessie is wonderful in a crate, no accidents and very quiet. She does come out the crate super excited and ready to play. Bessie would do great with another playful dog or an active family. She is not hyper her spurts of energy are followed by a nice nap on the floor, on a blanket, on the coach or even out in the warm sun! ** The adoption fee is $400, which covers food, vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet. All dogs receive a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age. Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed.
