Story
Betty Sue is an absolute sweetheart whose life started out not so great. She was adopted years ago by a wonderful family who adored her, but circumstances made it difficult to manage her medical so she’s back with us to get the care and attention she needs. Before you read Betty Sue’s bio and fall in love with her, we want to be up front about her medical needs and costs. Betty Sue is now on medication, and likely will be for the rest of her life. She does have seizures, but is on daily meds and will need an adopter who is able to keep up on that as her medical can definitely be managed. Despite her medical, Betty Sue is a happy lady who just wants to show her humans love, and be loved in return. Betty Sue has a sweet and gentle demeanor which will make her an excellent addition to any family (she loves kids). Her favorite things are lounging around, snuggling, and does great on car rides. She had a previous 4lb dog as a sibling, however we believe she would be best as the only dog in a home. Betty Sue is housebroken, crate trained, and has SO much potential as she loves to please. We are looking for someone who understands Betty Sue’s specific medical requirements as well as someone who can continue her medical at University Medical Center. If you are interested in giving this deserving girl a loving home, please fill out an application on our website. Can’t adopt? Share this post! Let’s work together to find Betty Sue a loving home!

Story
Hi, my name is Sparky! I’m a 4.5 year terrier with 9 lbs of love who will steal your heart! I’m 100% potty trained like the perfect boy I am, (I learned the doggy door all on my own!)I get along great with all dogs and I’m mildly curious with the house cat. I don’t remember everything in my past but I do remember sometimes I had to fight for my own food I get a little growly when I’m eating and another dog gets close to me so I’d rather eat by myself. I also sometimes get a little grumpy when I’m sleeping so it’s best to let me dream until I wake up. I didn’t have the best life before, so I hope you’re patient with me & my little quirks. My favorite hobbies are sun bathing, eating snacks and sleeping. I also love giving kisses and snuggling so be ready for lots of love! Who will be lucky enough to take me to my Furever home! I would do best in a home with either no children or older children who know how to respect boundaries. Apply to meet Sparky today! September 30, 2023, 11:12 pm
