BESS - Labrador Retriever and Hound Dog for Adoption in Little Rock, Arkansas

Bess (looks like Lab/Hound Mix) was a stray surrendered to us, so we don't have any background information. Her estimated DOB is 12/16/2021, and she weighed in at 42 pounds on 5/16/2026. Bess is a happy, playful girl who has been here WAY too long and needs to find her forever home. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with a bit of patience, she warms up and loves to give kisses and get tummy rubs! I mean, she really loves tummy rubs! Bess knows a few things like her name, come, leave-it, sit, and down! She can be selective when it comes to other dogs; so you should bring your dog for a test if you decide to adopt. Come meet Bess today and give her the love and patience she needs to thrive!
