THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING – Betty is not in one of our foster homes, we are assisting her owners with finding her a new home.
Meet Betty! This beautiful 5-year-old girl needs a new home. Betty has hip/knee dysplasia, a very manageable condition, but when she is not feeling well she doesn’t like to play and needs some downtime. She gives warning signs when she is overstimulated, and has never bitten anyone, but she did snap at the little girl in her current home and her parents feel she would do best in home without small children who might not understand when she needs space. Older children would be fine!
Betty’s dysplasia doesn’t slow her down at all and only bothers her when she spends a long period of time running around. She currently does not need any pain medication. She loves going on walks and hikes! She also enjoys running around her backyard and chasing balls, and she likes to chase after the water from hoses and sprinklers. She adores swimming!
Betty loves to cuddle, sit on your lap, and lay underneath blankets (she sleeps in bed with her parents). She likes bones, bully sticks, and chewing up stuffed animals. She is completely housetrained and rings a bell when she needs to go outside. She is good with commands and is very treat driven.
Betty likes to be introduced slowly to new, unfamiliar dogs. She gets along with dogs she knows and routinely visits family/friends that have dogs of their own, but she can be a bit protective around her food. Her parents have no problem sticking their hands into her food bowl while she is eating, she is only protective of her food when another dog is near her. She can be a bit anxious when meeting new people, and may bark or growl, but only because she is afraid. Once she gets to know you, she is friendly and affectionate.
Betty is spayed and her owners are getting her shots updated. She weighs about 50 pounds. Betty is afraid of fireworks and thunder and her vet has prescribed anxiety medication for these situations.
If you would like more information or would like to arrange to meet Betty, please fill out an application for her and we will put you in touch with her owners. She is an absolutely great dog!

To adopt one of our animals, go to our website at www.sheltersurvivors.com and download our Microsoft Word dog application, or use our "online application."
Adoption Fees:
Adoption fees are donations to Shelter Survivors, not payment for value received, and are based primarily on the age, health, and temperament of a particular dog, and our expenses. Shelter Survivors is not an actual shelter, and we are not subsidized. Most shelters receive municipal funding, while Shelter Survivors operates on adoption fees and donations. All of our members are volunteers, and none of us receives a salary or payment of any kind. Our funds go 100% toward the care of our dogs, primarily for veterinary expenses. Volunteers usually pay the costs for transport, fostering, phone calls, postage, and adoption screening out of their own pockets.
The adoption fees range from $200.00 to $300.00, which is a bargain when you consider that spaying/neutering, testing, training and inoculations are usually included. Any difference in fee is noted in the description of the individual pet. Many animals have been micro-chipped.
