About Betty
Betty is a 7-year-old girl who came into rescue through no fault of her own. She arrived uncomfortable and needing some TLC, but is getting the care — and the life — she truly deserves.
Reduced adoption fee applies.
She has had a much-needed dental procedure and now receives affordable pain relief. The result? A whole new Betty – bursting with energy, sass, and joy!
Now that she’s pain-free, she’s acting like a 7-month-old puppy. She chases toys, play-fights, and has regular zoomies around the house. With all that fun comes the need for some basic training, just like you would with a puppy. She needs clear boundaries and calm, consistent guidance, especially with resource guarding, which has been minor in foster, thanks to the resident dogs giving her space. 
Betty is a confident little character who loves people and is friendly with other dogs on walks. She may bark at visiting dogs at home at first, but soon settles once she’s had a sniff and decides they’re not a threat.
She does have some hearing loss and can struggle to locate the source of sound. Her foster carer has found that a whistle works better than calling her name – a useful tip to keep in mind.
Betty is also on allergy medication and eats a sensitive diet, but she’s not fussy – she’ll eat anything put in front of her!
This girl is full of fun, sass, and heart. She’s looking for a family who will help her continue this second puppyhood with plenty of love, patience, and structure.
