Bessie's Story

Bessie and her son Archie were rescued from a life of neglect and abuse, but this amazing duo hasn't let it damage their spirit. They are crate-trained, leash-trained, and get along with kids, dogs, cats, small children, and anyone else they meet. They are so thankful for their second chance, and it shows every day.<br/><br/>We only know a portion of what Bessie experienced before we rescued her. She clearly had a hip injury that wasn't treated. She has a slight deformity in the joint and some arthritis, but she doesn't let that stop her. She loves to run and play with the other dogs.<br/><br/>Bessie and Archie can be adopted separately, but we promise endless entertainment to anyone willing to adopt them together. <br/><br/>To meet this cutie, complete an application using the link below.<br/><br/>Location: Houston, TX<br/><br/>https://loveandrescue.com/adopt/<br/><br/>Please ONLY call the number listed on our page if you HAVE filled out an adoption application. <br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Love And Rescue Adoption Requirements:<br/><br/>All interested adopters must have/understand ALL of the following before being considered as a potential adopter.
