Meet Betsy – A Truly Special Little Girl Looking for Her Forever Home

Hi there! My name is Betsy, and I’m a very special pup with a heart full of love. I was born almost completely blind, but that doesn’t stop me from living life to the fullest!

At first, I can be a little timid with new people, but once I recognize your voice and your scent, I’ll become your most loyal friend. My blindness doesn’t hold me back—in fact, I can be quite the little stinker! You’d be amazed at the things I manage to find. I love to collect toys and hoard them in my room—it’s kind of my thing!

Living with a blind dog is a bit different, but not difficult. I can get startled easily, so I need you to tell me what you’re doing—like when you’re about to pet or pick me up. I’m learning to go potty outside (it’s a work in progress), but I do great with puppy pads. I've already learned the layout of my foster home and can zoom around like a little speed demon!

I can be a bit bossy with my foster dog sibling, but we play so well together—and I adore the cat, too! I would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard and another friendly dog to show me the ropes and help me feel safe.

My foster family had to “baby-proof” the house for me a bit, which helped a lot. I think I’d do well with older, respectful children who can understand my special needs and learn how to interact with me gently.

I already know a few basic commands like “no,” “stay,” and “drop it.” I love to play with toys—especially hiding them—and I rely on my excellent sense of smell and hearing to explore the world around me. I can get nervous when other dogs bark because I can't tell what’s going on, but a calm, reassuring home would help me thrive.

I may require a little extra care, but I promise I’m worth it. I’m sweet, beautiful, and bursting with love to give. If you open your heart to me, I’ll fill your life with joy, loyalty, and a whole lot of tail wags.
