About Betty

Meet Betty, an older gal with a bright spirit and a huge heart. She loves meeting new people and greets everyone with tail wags and eager eyes. In her foster home in South Carolina, Betty lives peacefully with other dogs, though she prefers slow, thoughtful introductions before letting anyone into her circle. Once she trusts you, Betty is the kind of companion who remains loyal for life and isn't shy about asking for ball time or affection, no matter her age. Betty’s story isn’t sunshine from start to finish. She spent years chained and neglected, weathering storms under an old trailer. Rescue changed everything for her—now, she relishes every minute spent inside, cherished and safe. She bonds closely with her foster mom and thrives in an environment where she can pour all her love into one special person without a lot of household chaos. With her gentle temperament and fondness for car rides, Betty will be happiest in a calm home where snuggle time and quiet moments are part of daily life. She hasn’t been tested with cats or young kids, so she'll do best with an adopter ready to be her number one and meet her need for steady affection. If you want a loyal friend to share the couch and a life built on gratitude, Betty is waiting. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
