About this Dog
LOOKING FOR MY PERSON: Approx. 12 years old / Approx. 13 lbs. Hi, my name is Bessie! I lived with my family my entire life, but their living situation changed, and they are relocating to a home where pets are not allowed. That makes me sad, but I am so grateful that Mostly Mutts will work to help me find a new home. I am in a wonderful foster home while I wait for my furever family to find me! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I did not like the dogs I met at Mostly Mutts, so no dogs please. I tolerated a dog in one temp. foster home, but another temp. foster said I barked at dogs that entered the same room as me as well as those I passed on my walks, so I do not want to live with them. / My former family reported that I did not like cats and Mostly Mutts agrees. / I excitedly went after ankles of kids I met in a foster home and since I have bitten, best no kids. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a playful girl who likes toys and sometimes acts younger than my age. I’m called a spry girl and had a blast playing with the volunteer photographer! I’m a sweet girl who accepts affection most of the time, though I have guarding behaviors when it comes to things like my bed, treats and people. Once I find my person, I don’t really want to share them too much. This can be a trainable situation and my trainer will be happy to talk to you. I can be a bit temperamental and once bit my former foster mom, though I did have a urinary tract infection, so that may have had a bit to do with it. My former owner did not report any bites. My foster said I like new people to go slow as I get to know them so, please be patient with me as I adjust to my new home and any new people I meet. It just took a few days for me to feel comfortable with a temp. foster when my regular foster was away. She even called me a ‘real love bug.’ Once I am settled, I am sure to show you how sweet I can be! / My energy level is 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I have already learned the ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands. I also walk well on a leash. My trainer at the shelter is great with the little dogs with big personalities, so ask to talk to her when setting up a meeting with me. My former family reported that I also knew the word ‘no’ and ‘good job’ for praising me. In my former foster home, I knew the words ‘outside’ for going out, and ‘up’, for going up stairs and that I could ‘sit’ when I choose to – lol. / My crate manners were good in my former home and are good at Mostly Mutts, and it’s best that I sleep in a crate at night instead of the bed with you, as that is a time that I bit my person. / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule, and in my foster home. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love going for walks and playing fetch. It was fun playing in the fall leaves too. I enjoy having my cheeks and the top of my head rubbed as well as cuddles and scratches on my back. Playing with toys is also fun and I enjoy hanging out with my person. I do seem to prefer women to men. / I don’t like to be picked up, so let me come to you, please. I’m also not a fan of having my paws, tummy or rear end rubbed. I don’t care for some men or people going too fast as I get to know them. I don’t like dogs coming too close and alert bark at animals I see outside. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, training, and attention. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I have a congenital dropped carpus on both front legs and luxating patella on the left, but my foster didn’t even notice as I can jump and don’t have pain. I also have a mild heart murmur that does not require any treatment currently. I’m on an inexpensive over-the-counter joint supplement which is good for all older dogs. I am looking for a loving home for life with a dog experienced person! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Adopt Bessie and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Bessie's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Bessie's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Bessie, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Bessie's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Bessie was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Bessie’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Bessie’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Bessie’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
