About Betty

Betty is a lively 1-2 year old female Doberman Pinscher with a striking black and rust coat. She's full of youthful energy and has the kind of ears that draw admiration. Before she entered the care of DAR&E, Betty had her own litter of puppies, all while navigating her own puppy phase. Now in a foster home, she’s ready for her next adventure. Being an energetic breed, Betty thrives in an active household. She needs ample physical and mental stimulation to keep her happy and well-behaved. While she’s a fast learner and loves to please, she is still mastering her manners. Currently living with a female dog and two cats, she gets along well with the dog but struggles with her excitement around the cats. For their safety, it’s best she doesn't share a home with feline friends. Betty warms up well to women, but requires a gentle approach from men, taking her time to build trust. With patience, she will flourish in a supportive environment. She’s actively working on basic commands and enjoys the opportunity to learn. Betty is fostered in Arlington, VA, and is ready for a loving new home. Your new best friend is just one click away.
