About Bettie

Meet Bettie, the charming house hippo who’s ready to soak up her golden years in a loving home! At 12 years old, this Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix brings joy and companionship to everyone she meets. We rescued her from NYACC, a place where no senior dog should ever be, and she’s found her place in a comfy foster home where she enjoys lounging on cozy couches. Bettie is a true people lover, adoring humans of all ages. Her close bond with her 3-year-old foster brother shows her gentle nature and playful spirit. Despite being a senior, Bettie is an easy housemate and offers warmth, tranquility, and plenty of tail wags. She currently shares her space with another dog and remains friendly after a gradual introduction. Though she has a small spot of stable skin cancer on her leg, it’s not affecting her happy disposition. Bettie is looking for that special family to spoil her as she deserves. If you think you can provide her with a loving home, please complete an application!
