About Betsy

Betsy arrived at the rescue in 2022 after being saved from a hoarding situation in Lebanon, Missouri. She’s both blind and deaf, moving through her days at her own pace. Betsy is house trained and has shown she can coexist peacefully with other dogs, but she needs a home without cats or children. Even if adoption isn’t in her future, the rescue will always care for her, but Betsy would love a forever home within 50 miles of Saint Charles, MO. Sometimes, she just needs a safe place to be herself and a gentle hand nearby. Ready to meet her and see if she fits your world? Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
