Betty Lou — The Whoville Wonder with Big Explorer Energy

Betty Lou is bold, curious, and adventure-ready — the kind of pup who walks into a new space like she owns it, tail held high, eyes bright, and heart open. She plays beautifully with other dogs, reads the room like a social pro, and greets humans with a confident, “You’re my people now” energy.

Betty Lou is part of the unforgettable Whoville Litter, a sibling group of five found just outside of Memphis. They emerged from the woods late one night — little wonders wandering out of the unknown and into a rescue story that was just beginning. The kindest man scooped them all inside, gave them warmth, and reached out to a PAWS New England volunteer, because he knew their lives deserved a brighter start.

At around 4 months old, Betty Lou is healthy, happy, and ready for her next chapter. She’s already:
• Great with other dogs
• Smart and food-motivated
• Making progress in crate training
• Full of personality, confidence, and charm

She’ll thrive in a home that loves movement, laughter, and shared experiences. If you want a dog who brings excitement into everyday life, keeps you on your toes (in the cutest way), and makes every outing feel like an adventure — she’s your girl.

The adoption fee also includes the transport fee when applicable

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You must attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are an experienced dog owner and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact.  

PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?

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.
