My story

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

Betsy is the cutest little Beagle you will ever meet! She’s a 13” Beagle, weighing just 16 lbs. She is estimated to be 8 – 9 years old but definitely acts like a much younger girl!!

Everyone who meets Betsy absolutely loves her. She is a member of two doggy daycare groups and is the social butterfly in both.

This petite girl is sugary-sweet but on the other hand, she can be a powerhouse, holding her own against any dog who wants to challenge her. Betsy enjoys the company of all dogs but especially those her own size…and her favorite friends are other hounds!! She can be bossy toward larger dogs who she views as threatening to her.

Betsy has it all…she’s cute, very personable, sociable, and spunky. And everyone loves her!!

She barks as needed but is not a constant barker, as Beagles are sometimes perceived to be.

Generally speaking Betsy is in good health and you’d never know she has heart issues. Prior to joining BAARK, Betsy was diagnosed with grade IV systolic left-sided heart murmur, possibly mitral valve disease.
Betsy takes Vetmedin daily and you’d never know she has anything concerning going on with her heart! She shows no symptoms at all (lethargy, shortness of breath, coughing). Rather she’s playful and energetic, but also enjoys lounging and watching activities around her.

An ideal family for Betsy is one with Beagle experience and also experience in dealing with a dog with cardiac concerns. Such issues are manageable and the Vetmedin is invaluable in keeping Betsy active and symptom-free. The new family must be able to continue to provide Vetmedin to Betsy daily. Cost/day is just under $2.00 but completely worth it!!

Betsy is up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention, spayed and microchipped.

If you are interested in adding this precious girl to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Please note that BAARK is located in Barrington IL, and adopts only local to our area.

Betsy has plenty of living yet to do and we want her to enjoy every moment with a family of her own!
