About Bessie

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION. 7-year-old female Chiweenie, a FAT 20 pounds. Bessie is a is a sweet, loving, friendly girl and will make a wonderful companion. She does very well with humans but can be territorial over HER human. She fully and completely falls in love and is loyal to a fault. She adores short walks, long naps, sunshine, snuggling, and burrowing under a warm toasty blanket (She expects cozy blankets in every room so she can burrow) - preferably while touching her person. Or any person! While she adores the dog she lives with now, she can be aggressive towards dogs that come near her people, so she might be best as an only dog. Bessie needs a fenced yard, as she loves to explore, and her hearing is stubbornly selective. She doesn't show much separation anxiety and does fine left at home alone - but her happy dance and zoomies when you return will keep you laughing. She's food-motivated, eating anything she can reach, so she'll need to have strict limits on both her intake and her access to food. She has the Dachshund tendency towards gaining weight - and being stubborn but not the excessive barking. Although she does enjoy barking at dogs on TV. Bottom line, Bessie (nickname Bessie Boop) is quirky, hilarious, has a BIG personality, excels at staring adoringly at you, and is never far away. She's weird, but incredibly entertaining. She will steal your heart! To request an adoption application, email [email protected] Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older. Puppies are adopted with a refundable spay/neuter deposit (in addition to the adoption fee) and adopters are required to get their puppy to our vet for their pre-scheduled spay-neuter appointments.

Email Jamie at [email protected] or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. 8632781We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. You must live within a three-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), so we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.
