About Betty White

Meet Betty White. Betty White is a 10-year-old, 12 lb senior sweetheart in search of her forever home. Rescued from the South LA Shelter, she came to us matted and suffering from painful ear and dental infections. After a shave, dental work, and some love, she’s recovering beautifully, and her fluffy coat is on its way back. This lovely grandma combines sweetness with just the right amount of sass. She loves being close to her person and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, often just ignoring them to focus on her own pursuits. At this stage in her life, Betty doesn’t ask for much beyond a cozy bed, lots of affection, and a caring individual to share her days with. Having faced difficulties in her earlier years, she deserves a golden ending. Ready to make a new friend? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
