Bessie American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Stratford, CT

Hey th.ere, I'm Bessie! They think I'm around 2-3 years old I was bred and then dumped outside in the cold to fend for myself. Luckily the nice people at the shelter found me and gave me a warm bed and some yummy food. My old owners couldn't see what a gem I was. I don't hold it against anyone though- I'm very friendly, I get so excited and wag my tail with glee when people walk by my cage. I'm pretty good at sitting on command too! I really would like a family to call my own that will love me forever. I'm a bit picky so I would do better in a one pet household. Please come adopt me! I've been spayed, microchipped and vaccinated too.


To adopt a pet you must fill out an application and be approved. Home ownership or landlord approval required. All members in a household must meet the pet and agree to the adoption. The fee is $5.00 to adopt pets. Most of these animals have been spayed/neutered, tested for disease and vaccinated. These services have been paid for by donations and additional donations to help off-set these costs are appreciated. All other pets will be adopted through the State of Connecticut Animal Population Control Program. The fee is $50.00 and this entitles the adopter to 2 free vaccines, and a discount voucher off the cost of spay/neuter.  In general, the price for the balance of the spay/neuter ranges from $100-200 and is due upon receipt of the animal at the veterinarian office. There is an additional $10.00 fee for microchipping.
