Bess

Hello, I'm Bess. 🐾

You might not immediately see my story today. But even as a very young puppy, I experienced that people aren't always good to us.

When I was just about three months old, my sister Merle and I were tied to a post with shoelaces and simply abandoned. The shoelaces were so short that we could hardly move. If we wanted to sit down or change our position, they even choked us. We had to wait two long days until someone finally found us. After that, we ended up in a state animal shelter in Romania. We were just skin and bones and had to stay there for several months. Luckily, our Romanian colleagues from the Landshut District Animal Welfare Association – Cats & Dogs in Need – noticed us and got us out of there. Since then, we have been safe with them.

And then something actually happened that we had been waiting for so long: We were allowed to travel to Germany ❤️

Now I am here and finally looking for my own home.

I am a friendly and good-natured dog. Once I know people and have gained their trust, I really enjoy attention and petting. I also already walk nicely on a leash.

However, I am initially very reserved with new people. I need time to get to know someone and understand: You mean well. A quick approach or too much attention all at once isn't my thing. I want to be able to decide for myself when I come closer. That's why I'm looking for people with dog experience who can give me the necessary security and time. People who don't expect me to be a happy, uncomplicated family dog ​​from day one, but who understand that trust has to grow. When I feel safe, I can open up – and then my loving side comes out.

I also have a little peculiarity when it comes to eating: Food is something very special to me. I therefore like to eat and sometimes quite quickly. This probably comes from my puppy days, when food was scarce and we had to fight for every meal. Today I know that my bowl will be filled again, but some experiences just don't disappear. Therefore, I wish for people who will treat me with calm and understanding, and show me that I don't have to defend anything anymore. I've already been through so much. Now I finally want to arrive. Your Bess 🐾❤️
