About Betty

Meet Betty! Betty is an 8-week-old, 8-pound Lab/Terrier mix, affectionately known as a "Texas Special!" Named after a character from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this happy little sweetheart is anything but horrible. Currently thriving in her foster home, Betty enjoys playing with toys, romping around with her siblings, and soaking up all the love. Her scruffy mom weighs about 40 pounds, while Dad remains a mystery. As a young puppy, Betty needs a committed family ready for the joys and responsibilities of raising her. This includes potty training, learning basic manners, leash practice, socialization, and regular vet visits. While puppies can be a handful, with love, patience, and consistent training, they blossom into lifelong companions. If you want puppy kisses, silly adventures, and a little "Time Warp" around the living room, Betty is eager to dance her way into your heart. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
