About Betty

Meet Betty! Betty is a 51-pound female Collie mix currently fostered in Massachusetts after being found as a stray in Tennessee. Estimated to be around 1.5 years old, she carries a joyful and affectionate demeanor. While she may take her time warming up to new people, her laid-back nature shines through once she feels comfortable. Betty treasures leisurely walks and car rides, often drawn to intriguing smells on her explorations. As she settles in, she's discovering the fun of toys, proving herself quite the stuffy destroyer. One of her sweetest traits is standing on her back legs to request a hug. Betty is house-trained and does well in her home. Though she’s crated when unsupervised, she needs time to adjust in that space, showing her preference to relax by her human companions. Having previously lived with other dogs in Tennessee, she gets along well with them. When it comes to children, she has a gentle demeanor but is most at ease with calm, respectful ones who approach slowly. Her interactions with cats are still being evaluated; she has shown interest in chasing her foster’s cat but is currently learning redirection. Betty may require a gentle approach during grooming and handling, especially around her feet, as she can be vocal if feeling uncertain. It’s important for her future family to respect her comfort levels while helping her build confidence. This affectionate girl would thrive in a calm home that values outdoor adventures and quality cuddle time. Betty is vaccinated, spayed, and ready for her forever family. Ready to fall in love?
