Papillon and Jack Russell Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Inglewood, California

At 2 years old, Bessie is the perfect blend of spunky and sweet—a Papillon and Jack Russell Terrier Mix with a bright spirit and an even brighter future ahead.

She was found in Highland on Easter alongside her pals Bernie and Birdie, like a little trio straight out of a storybook. While her past is a mystery, one thing is clear—Bessie is resilient, loving, and ready to start her next chapter.

With her expressive eyes and lively personality, Bessie brings a spark wherever she goes. She’s curious, affectionate, and always up for a little adventure, followed by some well-earned cuddles.

Now all she needs is a home to call her own—and someone to love her as much as she’ll love them.
