🐾 Meet Bessie: The Floppy-Eared Lovebug Looking for Her Forever Home! 🐾

Bessie is a black-and-white terrier mix with a heart as big as her personality. At just a year and a half old and under 40 pounds, she’s the perfect size for snuggles, sofa cuddles, and splashy backyard adventures. Her foster family says she’s “such a blast to have around”—and we believe it!

✨ Why You’ll Fall in Love with Bessie:

• 💧 Loves water play—fountains, kiddie pools, and ice cubes are her jam!
• 🐶 Potty trained and mostly crate trained
• 🛋️ Cuddly at night, playful by day
• 🐾 Knows sit, shake (both paws!), lay down, and sometimes roll over
• 🍗 Massively food motivated—ready to learn even more!
• 😂 Nicknamed “Noodle” for her floppy, slinky-style furniture exits
• 👀 Makes intense eye contact… followed by enthusiastic kisses!
• 🥜 Obsessed with peanut butter and Kong toys
• 🐕 Enjoys romping with other dogs, but can be timid in new environments
• 🐈 Curious about cats but may do best in a cat-free home
• 🧦 Counter-surfer alert: socks, pens, and butter wrappers beware!
• 🐾 Eats fast, so her foster adds water to slow her down and keep her tummy happy
• 🎭 Has the most expressive ears—speed mode, cute mode, and post-nap chaos!

Bessie is thriving in her foster home, and she’s almost ready to meet her forever family. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, snuggly companion who will keep you laughing and shower you with love (and licks!), Bessie might be your perfect match.

🎉 Starting Thursday, October 2, Metro Animal Shelter is participating in the BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters event! That means Bessie’s adoption fee—and the fees for all our adoptable animals, including those in foster homes—will be highly reduced!

📍 Shelter Hours:

• Open: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday | 12 PM – 6 PM
• Closed: Sundays & Wednesdays

📞 If you’d like to meet Bessie or any of our foster animals, please call ahead to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can bring them to the shelter for you!

💌 Share this post, spread the word, and help Bessie find the loving home she deserves. She’s ready to wiggle her way into someone’s heart—maybe yours?

🐾 Meet Chaddington: The Gentleman with the Zoomies 🐾

This grey-and-white Pitt mix is the definition of sweet. With soulful eyes and ears that say “I’m innocent, please love me,” Chaddington has stolen hearts left and right—and he’s ready to steal yours too.

Recently, he joined our Happy Hour dog-walking program, and the verdict is in: he’s unforgettable.

💬 “We had the privilege of taking Chaddington out for a Happy Hour and have thought of him almost every day since!! If we were able to have more than 2 dogs, he would be the third without a doubt! He did fantastic on a leash and was unphased when we saw dogs and children out and about. We gave him a bath and his zoomies after were just the cutest. He was so sweet and loving. Chaddington is the best!!”

Whether he’s strolling calmly through the neighborhood or celebrating bath time with joyful zoomies, Chaddington radiates love, gentleness, and charm. He’s the kind of dog who makes you feel lucky just to know him.

🏡 Ready to give this sweet boy the forever home he deserves? Come meet Chaddington at Metro Animal Shelter today. He’s waiting—with those eyes, those ears, and all the love in the world.
