About Betty

Betty is a delightful 4-year-old Basset Hound and Beagle mix, weighing in at 35 pounds. She embodies warmth and charm, making her a comforting presence in any home. Betty came to Minnesota Basset Rescue with her sisters after their previous owners chose not to reclaim them. Now, she’s in search of a quiet home where she can be the only dog or with equally calm companions. This sweet girl is low-key and adapts well to any type of yard. Although it's unclear how she interacts with children or cats, her easygoing nature suggests that she’ll fit right in. Betty is house trained, can manage stairs, and even walks well on a leash, but she might need some guidance. She loves being close to her people and shares her excitement with joyful barks when they return home. Currently, Betty has tested positive for heartworm and is looking for a foster-to-adopt home that can care for her while Minnesota Basset Rescue manages her treatment costs. Once she is heartworm-free, she’ll be ready for adoption. Her cheerful personality and desire for companionship will undoubtedly make her a cherished part of your family.
