🐾 Meet Nessa — A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Safe Place 🐾 Nessa is a 7‑month‑old, 15 lb Beagle who was found in Philadelphia and brought to the city’s animal control shelter. When no one came to reclaim her, she joined us in hopes of finding a fresh start and the loving home she deserves. We don’t know what Nessa’s past was like, but it’s clear she hasn’t always felt safe in the world. While she has been sweet, gentle, and cooperative with our volunteers, we also want to be fully honest: When she was first found, Nessa was terrified, cornered, and on the run, and she did bite the finder when they tried to grab her. Given the fear and confusion she was experiencing, her reaction was completely understandable — but it tells us that Nessa needs a calm, experienced, and patient home that will help her learn that life is safe and people can be trusted. Nessa is still discovering that the world can be wonderful. She has allowed gentle handling here and is showing us that with kindness, she warms up beautifully. She is a young dog with so much potential — she just needs the right people to guide her. 🏡 Ideal Home - Adult‑only home (no young children) - Experienced adopters who understand fearful dogs - A calm environment - Someone willing to go slow, build trust, and give her time to blossom With patience and love, Nessa will thrive. She is a sweet little Beagle who wants to feel safe, understood, and cherished — and she’s so ready for her new beginning. If you believe in second chances and want to help a deserving pup learn what love truly feels like, Nessa is waiting for you. She will come spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and 4dx tested.
