Story
Hello there! My name is Betti Boo and I am looking for a new home! I never thought that at 7 years old I would have to look for a new home but unfortunately, my previous owner has disappeared off the face of the earth somehow. I ended up getting confiscated by the police and held at animal control for a long time. But, I was sprung from jail by God's Dogs and after a visit to the vet, I am ready to find a new home to call my own! Foster mom says I tend to be a little bossy to the other little dogs at her house and that I will even try to chase them away from their food bowls at meal times. And I guess I have to admit to doing that, and I am getting used to having to eat by myself. I love to be with people and will follow you all around the house, and am interested in everything you are doing. I can be ok for a little while by myself if I am in my crate so I can feel safe, but if you can take me with you, that is good too. I walk pretty well on a leash. I basically ignore the cat that lives here, and get along with all the dogs, even the big ones. My beautiful hair had some mats in it and it is a little funky on my bottom, but I am still beautiful. It is like I have an apricot undercoat with a white overcoat. Really stylish I believe. Anyhow, if you would like to give me my forever home, please fill out the application and I will be waiting to meet you!! Local adoption fee is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $600 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Story
Penelope, along with 7 other terriers, were taken from a backyard where they had no vet care or protection. Sadly, the owner was in over their head and asked for us to help. Penelope came to us terrified and very shut down. She had not had much house or people experience. Her foster parents have done a wonderful job at socializing her and her sister Brandy. They are now getting used to being spoiled and enjoying life indoors with their humans where they belong. Penelope is 7 months old. She is full grown at 8 pounds. She does well with other dogs and cats! If you would like to adopt Penelope, please submit an application to be contacted! APPLY HERE: https://form.jotform.com/230176841172150
