Shelter Pup – Betty
At only six months old, Betty the Basset Hound mix’s life is just beginning. Unfortunately, one crucial person in Betty’s formerly happy human family has a life that’s ending. Someone who mattered to Betty, and her future, is terminally ill.
In a pup’s unconditionally loving, self-sacrificing way, Betty would have stayed to comfort the person. She would have skipped her playful puppy phase and been quietly supportive. But the people who wanted the best for Betty knew that she needed to move into her new life.
Betty’s endearing, wrinkled Basset forehead shows that she’s puzzled. Yet, Betty loves and appreciates everyone, humans of all ages, other dogs and even cats, so she’ll adjust. Still, young Betty needs someone to help her mend a broken heart.
