My story

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

Come see Betty at Burnett's Country Garden in beautiful Salem, CT on October 26th and 27th from 11:00am to 4:00pm.

Here is more information about me:
GENERAL BEHAVIOR AND IDEAL HOME: Hi! Betty here (also sometimes known as Betty Boop or BB :) Even though I weigh 41 pounds, I am a compact little girl that looks smaller than what that suggests. I am currently being fostered in Georgia and am so excited to be selected to come to Dog Days!! One day there was this nice lady walking through the kennel and I did my best to catch her eye. Well, I guess I was successful 'cause she stopped and asked me if I wanted to try and find a forever home in Connecticut. I'm not sure where that's at, but I sure want to find me a home and have my own family so I said, "yes ma'am"! I am a really polite little girl and love people and I like other dogs after being properly introduced. I also like to eat without any dogs around me as I get scared one of them will take my food. I don't mind my foster family around, even the kids, I'm just don't like sharing my food with other dogs . My foster home has two small children and I really like them and am really good with them. They also have horses! Well, those big things scared me at first so I barked at them but now that I've gotten used to them their not so bad. I walk nicely on a leash, know how to "sit", love to be petted, and just want to be close to you. My FM thinks I may be house trained as I haven't had any accidents. Everyone who meets me tells me what a sweet, sweet girl I am. My FM took several pictures of me trying to capture how pretty I am but according to my FM, they really don't do me justice :) If you're looking for someone who will love you forever, I'm your gir


GENERAL VETERINARY CARE:
I have been:
~ spayed/neutered
~ microchipped
~ dewormed
~ heatworm-tested negative if dog is of age to be tested ( 6 months or older)
~ up to date on all age appropriate shots
~ treated with a flea preventative

ADOPTION FEES
Rescues participating in our events are not allowed to charge more than $385 an adoption fee and some adoption fees are much less - it depends on what the rescue chooses to charge - Dog Days does not take any portion of the adoption fees.

ADOPTION PROCESS - Before the Event
If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. PLEASE Fill in the application if you're interested in adoption, this will save you time at the event. We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.
-- A letter from your vet on their letterhead will also be very helpful if they won't be open for us to call as a reference.
-- If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property. Dog Days will be conducting interviews of prospective adopters.
-- If you have never owned a dog and therefore do not have a vet reference let us know right away and we'll try to do a home visit before the adoption weekend. First time adopters need a quick home visit to make sure they are ready to take a dog home for the first time.

ADOPTION PROCESS - During the Event Weekend
-- Plan on spending at least three to four hours going through the adoption process. We want you to be completely confident in your new pal so we will ask you to speak to a trainer, a veterinarian as well as interview with a member of our adoption team and the rescue.
-- As a policy, Dog Days will not hold dogs for potential adopters so it is important to come to the event by 11:00am Saturday morning if you have your heart set on a particular dog.
-- PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS ARE GIVEN TO THE BEST HOME, NOT FIRST IN LINE.

Each dog and puppy has been seen by a Connecticut veterinarian who will also be on site to answer any questions you may have. We'll have professional groomers on site to give your new pal a bath before you take them home (no charge) and our adoption bags will give you information and samples for use at home.

EVENT TIMES AND LOCATION:
October 26th and 27th from 11am to 4pm at Burnett's Country Gardens in Salem, CT.
