BESSIE aka CRUNCHY

​I am a chihuahua mix. I am mostly a very sweet girl, but sometimes I can be a little cranky. I am ok with other dogs as long as they aren't in my space. I haven't been around cats, but I don't think I would bother them.  My favorite activity is napping. I also love to eat and get really excited for meal time - but who doesn't?!

I was brought in as a stray, so we aren't sure exactly how old I am, or how my body ended up a bit contorted. It doesn't slow me down, but it did earn me the nickname of crunchy. I am heartworm positive, and Vintage has elected to do the slow kill method for me. I have no symptoms of having heartworms. I appear to be pee pad trained and I have never had a #2 accident inside.

I am a special little lady and will make a loving companion.
