About Betsy

Meet Betsy and Tilly! These sweet sisters found their way to us when their owner could no longer care for them. Betsy, at 2 years old, is joined by her 4-year-old sister Tilly. Both are shy and searching for a patient adopter who can help them blossom into their true selves. Their bond is strong, so they need to be adopted together. These girls will thrive in a loving environment that offers them time to adjust and grow with the right guidance. Could you be the perfect match for this dynamic duo? Every animal at Animal Friends is altered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines before adoption. Let's make their next chapter their best one yet.
