About Betty

Betty is about a year old and came to the shelter needing a bit of extra care. She arrived undernourished and dealing with some skin issues, so she's on the mend. Very food motivated, Betty needs to be fed individually right now to ensure she gets her fair share. It's likely that she spent a lot of time outside, which means she still needs some socialization and basic training. Despite her challenges, her curiosity shines through, and she's ready to explore the world around her. Betty does not yet get along with other dogs when it comes to meal times, so her future home should keep that in mind. She's still learning how to be part of a family but is eager to adjust and thrive. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
