Betts has the sweetest face doesn’t she?  

We honestly cannot say enough good things about Betts!

Betts is a survivor. She is a heartworm survivor! She survived being on the list to be euthanized while in the shelter. While in the shelter, Betts experienced significant shelter stress, which led to the complete grinding down of her front teeth, so she is all gums in the front. Understandably, Betts gets stressed out in a crate or small gated enclosure. Luckily, this girl is so well behaved she hasn’t needed a crate, though she will occasionally choose to chew a bone in there while it’s open.

Betts is a medium-energy dog that enjoys leisurely walks, hiking, playing fetch/tug, and any activity that involves humans, food, or dog friends. She especially loves rolling around in the grass, toy in mouth, of course! She adores her 15lb foster brother and loves chasing him around the yard and gently wrestling with him. Betts does great meeting other dogs

Betts is a quiet girl and doesn’t participate when our resident dogs bark at delivery drivers. She is potty trained and hasn’t had a single accident with her foster. When she needs to go potty, she’ll stand by the door and give a quiet little whine. Did we mention she has the cutest snore? Check out the video to see/hear this adorable sleeper.

She loves to chew bones and toys, though she doesn’t always enjoy sharing them. We’ve seen improvement since working on “leave it” with her, and we highly encourage her future family to continue this training. She is highly food motivated and will do just about anything for some cheese!

While Betts has done well meeting dog-savvy children as young as five years old, a home with kids over age twelve would be best. Bett’s has never lived with young children and she is also the queen of leaning and could easily knock young ones over. In fact, Betts most frequently shows affection by leaning into your legs, hoping you will end up laying on the floor with her. It’s impossible to say no to her goofy grin and wiggle butts.

Bett’s dream home is one with a work-from-home human and a backyard. She is a Velcro girl, for sure. She does have some separation anxiety (it was more prominent the first few weeks we had her) but settles quickly as long as she’s had enough exercise/enrichment. If the adopter doesn’t work from home, another dog, doggy daycare or some other arrangement would be needed so she is not alone all day.

Bett‘s is a well-mannered, loveable goofball. She draws in crowds of people everywhere she goes. She has an abundance of “smooches” to give! Spend a day with this precious girl and we guarantee you will fall in love.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
