I’m Betty and I have a back story that is unfortunately, very common these days. I was picked up by police as a stray and brought to a small local animal control. It was clear that I had recently had puppies, but since nursing moms don’t just leave their nest, it’s likely my pups were sold. It’s a sad fact that people like to overbreed pitbulls like myself & then sometimes dump the mommy dogs.
My foster mom spotted me and saw how friendly I was in my little kennel, so friendly in fact that I had happy tail from wagging my tail so hard against the kennel walls. She brought me home into foster care, where I quickly settled in with the other dogs and cats who live there. I love the comforts of home and I love being with people. Snuggling, napping, sunning myself in the grass, chasing after my foster brothers in the yard, playing with toys, I love it all!
My energy level is medium, I enjoy playing in the yard and then resting after. I don’t need excessive walks or exercise. I ride great in the car and I’m fairly quiet overall. I’m crate trained by day & I’d love to sleep in your bed at night if you’d let me!
I’m not currently fostered with kids, but my foster mom thinks I’d likely be a great family dog & can do kid-testing upon request.
I enjoy playing with my 2 smaller foster brothers, and I am cat curious/playful – I’d like to play with the resident cats but if they swat at me I back off. If you have a playful young cat we would likely do great.
I currently weigh 45 pounds and can gain just a few more pounds, but I’m full grown. I’m spayed, heartworm negative, microchipped, dewormed, current on vaccines and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. My adoption fee is $295, but have partial sponsorship from a generous donor. 💕
