About Betty White fka Lucinda

Betty White, formerly known as Lucinda, is a petite Chow Chow with a gentle and sweet demeanor. She's currently blossoming in her foster home, showing off her affectionate side. After just a week, her tail is often wagging, and she happily transitions in and out of her crate. She follows other dogs outside and has even taken the initiative to lead the way to the backyard. While Betty is heartworm positive and undergoing treatment—which is fully covered by Houston Chow Chow Connection—she gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Even when faced with a playful pup that grabs her tail, she responds with a nonchalant look and walks away, showcasing her peaceful nature. This lovely girl is still wary of human affection. She may retreat to her crate when approached, but there’s no aggression in her behavior—just a need for a little security. She enjoys lounging on the cool tile floor, watching the outside world from the front window, and going for car rides, making her an ideal companion for any adventurous spirit. Betty doesn't need anyone to rush her—she needs an owner who understands that trust grows over time. Her confidence is already beginning to shine, and she will reward patience with love and warmth. **Betty White is being fostered in Austin, TX, and transport can be arranged at a cost of $200-400.** What are you waiting for?
