About Betsy

Meet Betsy, a lovely 7-year-old Basset Hound with soulful eyes and floppy ears. This affectionate girl craves attention but takes her time warming up to new people. A little patience and gentle reassurance can help her feel secure, as she can be wary and might growl when uncertain. Having lived outdoors and raised puppies, Betsy is eager to learn the joys of indoor life, including housetraining and crate training. She can be selective with other dogs, so an introduction before bringing her home is essential; she might also thrive as the only dog. Her background with cats and children is unknown. Now spayed and fully vetted, Betsy is ready to embrace a fulfilling life as someone's cherished companion. Could you be the one to give this deserving girl the love and fresh start she has been waiting for? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
