Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Meet Betty, a sweet and gentle, young Australian Shepherd mix. She can be a little unsure in the shelter environment, but once outside, her personality shines — she’s friendly, affectionate, and eager to connect. Betty enjoys attention, takes treats gently, knows “sit”, and loves all things love and affection. She walks well on leash and explores new spaces with curiosity, often checking in with her person. While Betty can get excited when she sees other dogs on leash, she remains friendly and responsive. With love and patience, Betty will settle in beautifully and make a wonderful companion. She’s ready to find a loving home where she can keep building confidence and thriving.
