About Betty

Betty is a lively and friendly medium-sized dog looking for her forever home. She has a happy disposition and is quite excitable, thriving on walks, treats, ball play, and training sessions. Betty can be selective with other dogs; she generally prefers to ignore them rather than engage. Unfortunately, she does not interact well with children and would do best in an adult-only home. While Betty is leash trained and enjoys her kennel for downtime, she hasn’t mastered potty or crate training just yet, as she’s still getting used to her new environment. She has a strong appetite and is likely to guard her food, so careful management around meal times is necessary. Despite her background from a hoarding situation, she has made significant progress and enjoys learning how to play with toys, especially soccer balls. Betty is currently being cared for by The Animal Pad and is ready to take the next step in her journey. Think you could provide her with the loving home she deserves?
