My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Betty is a 3 year old long haired chihuahua mix that is finally enjoying life and ready for a great home. Betty came from a hoarding situation where she lived with hundreds of other dogs. She was a scared and traumatized little lady when she arrived but after working with her for several weeks, Betty is now well-adjusted and just loves people. She is still shy with new people and situations and will need an experienced, safe home with a family that will give her plenty of love, patience and nurturing to ensure that she settles in and is kept safe. Betty is an absolute doll with a super sweet personality. Even when she was scared, she couldn't help but come wiggling up to us, cautiously climbing up into a lap to get a little attention. She is very bubbly and friendly and just loves being with people now. She is doing great with walking on a leash outdoors but will always need to be kept safe on a secure collar as loud noises passing by still frighten her. Betty is great with other dogs and looks to them for comfort. She is so content to cuddle up with you and be held, and even gets playful from time to time. Betty will need a home that is commotion-free and one with no small children. She is ready to meet a family that will give her the happy life that she deserves. File#26326 6/3/16
