About Betty

Meet Betty! This sweet little girl is a 3-year-old dachshund/Boston terrier mix. After being surrendered due to her family’s inability to care for her, she arrived at the rescue in need of some love and care, having been infested with fleas. It took her a bit to warm up, but once she does, Betty loves to snuggle. She gets along well with the dogs in her foster home, although she has a playful side and can be a bit pushy, so a laid-back canine companion would be ideal. Betty has also shown herself to be great with respectful kids. Betty is currently looking for a foster-to-adopt home and will be fully vetted before finalizing any adoption. Her adoption fee is sponsored at $375. If this adorable girl sounds like a good fit for you, consider filling out an application; someone will be in touch! Betty's new life is just a click away. Ready to start your journey together?
