In the shelter’s words
Bessie may only weigh 14 pounds, but this little Chihuahua has packed a whole lot of resilience, personality, and love into one tiny body. Bessie came to OURS from CVAC after being confiscated as part of a hoarding case. When she first arrived, she was timid and unsure of this big new world around her. But with patience, consistency, and plenty of love, Bessie began to realize something wonderful—she was safe. And once she figured that out, her sweet little personality came pouring out. Today, Bessie is an affectionate, happy girl who absolutely lives for love. She’ll greet you with a wagging tail and gentle kisses before tucking her little head into whatever cozy nook she can find. And if there’s an available lap? Consider it claimed. Bessie is happiest curled up close to her humans, soaking in every ounce of affection she can get. Quick Facts ❤️ Sweet, affectionate & incredibly loving Certified lap dog and serious snuggle enthusiast Greets her people with tail wags and gentle kisses Has blossomed from timid and unsure into a confident little companion Smart, eager to please & ready to keep learning Has the potential to be a wonderful walking companion with continued training Happy to join her people for adventures and outings Would thrive with a patient, loving family who will give her stability and security Located in Southern California Bessie has already shown us just how much a little dog can blossom when she's given the chance to feel safe and loved. Now she’s ready for the best part of her story—a family of her very own. If you have an empty lap, a soft spot for Chihuahuas, and plenty of love to give, Bessie just might be the tiny best friend you’ve been waiting for. If you are interested in adopting Bessie, please apply here. ❤️ We believe every dog deserves to be loved and safe.
