"Bessie has learned so much since her initial days in a small cage," the animal shelter wrote online. "While her definition of being a dog might still look a bit different from the norm, Bessie is thriving and teaching us every day to love and accept her, just as she is."

Bessie is a bit of an outdoor dog, and the animal shelter noted that she enjoys spending time in a spacious yard with a breeze and her back and the sun shining down. "Her favorite outdoor activity is sprinting around the yard, bouncing and wiggling and encouraging her dog friends to join in.," the animal shelter wrote.

Bessie also enjoys her toys. She manages to entertain herself with them, tossing them back and forth, checking their squeakiness, and ensuring they're Bessie-approved.

Although she's a dog, Bessie is quite the social butterfly. "Bessie finds comfort in her other dog friends," the animal shelter said. "When she isn't sure, she looks to them for guidance and support."

Her foster family also noted that Bessie found a fast friendship with a chicken.
