Bessie

Description

Hi!  My name is Bessie and I am looking for a forever home.  I was part of a group of dogs seized from a hoarding case and taken to a scary place called a shelter.  A volunteer with a small local rescue contacted BCAA to see if they could help a few of us and they said yes!  I was super scared when I first got into foster but everyone has been so nice to me and I've been getting good food and treats, I have started coming out of my shell and now love to see my foster mom.  I appear to be maybe a terrier mix with a docked tail but my foster mom just says I'm super cute.  At around 2 years old and 18lbs, I won't be getting any bigger.  I have gotten along with all of the other small dogs I have met and haven't bothered the cats.  I've also done really well in my crate without any accidents, barking or tearing up of any bedding; however, I would prefer to be out with you but I will go right in my crate if I feel threatened as it's my safe place.  I'm ok on leash but not great until I learn to trust you so a fenced yard would be great to keep me safe while I take care of my business and explore.  If you would like to meet me, please fill out an application which can be found at www.bcaaofnj.org.
