Betsy is the sweetest girl! Out of all the foster dogs her foster mom has had, Betsy is her favorite. She has adjusted to the life of a pet really well. Nothing fazes her and she's just so happy to be included in the day to day life of her foster home. She loves all the kids and dogs in the house and she doesn't pay any mind to the cat. Betsy's passion is snuggling. She will happily lie next to you (or on you if you let her) all day long. She mentioned she likes squishy dog beds just fine, but prefers the couch so she can be next to you! Due to her history as a commercial breeding dog, Betsy doesn't know how to play with toys or other dogs. She has started showing interest though and with time, she will become the loving companion she was meant to be.
Betsy is still working on house training and loves the praise she receives when she does the right thing. She is slowly catching on to going outside for potties and right now, but prefers concrete over grass due to her history.
Betsy is crate trained and will happily spend her time inside snoozing. She will need to be kenneled whey you are away because she likes to chew on things that are not chew toys when she gets bored. She corrects easily though as she just wants to please you. Chew toys would be great for her, however she still hasn't quite figured out what she's supposed to do with them!
Betsy is healthy for her age, but she does have a condition called Dry Eye. It is treated with a twice daily medication which she will need the rest of her life. She doesn't mind her meds and loves being able to see her people clearly! Other than that, she has been spayed, had her teeth cleaned, and is current on vaccinations.
Betsy is a good girl with a heart of pure gold who just needs a family with some patience and a lot of love. She deserves every bit of it!

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
