In the shelter’s words
Betsy Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: moderate Potty training: pee pads and goes outside on a schedule Fenced yard: yes, required Shared walls: not suitable People: adults and older children Dogs: dogs her age/size or the only dog Other: currently doing well on a weight management plan Overview Betsy has a personality that fills any room she walks into. This sweet 3-year-old long-haired red mix is game for just about anything life has to offer, as long as she gets to be part of it. Betsy came to Little Paws after the heartbreaking loss of her owner. She deserves nothing less than a loving forever home, and she's ready to pour every bit of her affection into the right family—she’s waiting with many kisses. Environment Betsy has moderate energy levels and loves her daily adventures. She happily keeps pace with big dogs on woodland walks and is a joy on leash. She'll need a securely fenced yard to roam and burn off that enthusiasm. She uses pee pads indoors and is still working toward fully outdoor potty habits, so patience and consistency will help her get there. S he is currently gated into a large area when left alone. When her foster leaves, she does protest. She's happiest with canine housemates around. Because she can be chatty, she'll do best in a home without shared walls. Betsy is also currently on a weight management plan; a combination of regular exercise and a weight control diet is already showing results, and she just needs to shed a few more pounds to reach her healthy weight. Her new family will want to keep that momentum going. Pets & People Betsy has settled into a multi-dog household. She's social with her canine crew but would do best with a dog her size and around her age. She's a little rambunctious for older and smaller dogs. With people, she can be wary when meeting strangers on the street. She does have some separation anxiety so someone home more often than not would be ideal. She does best with older children because she’s a very food-motivated girl and small hands holding snacks could be tempting for her. Location Betsy is available for adoption from Christianbsburg, VA. Please email Juliejohnson@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Betsy is $375.00.
