Meet Betty
Young Female
Betty is a young female looking
for her forever home. She came into the shelter as a
stray. She was very fearful in that environment so she was taken
into rescue. She is probably not much more than a year or so old. Even
though she is young, we think she may have had a litter. Betty will
need a home with GSD savvy people who are willing to work with her. Her
socialization skills with both dogs and people need work. With regard
to other dogs, in her foster home, Betty is an alpha female in
her pack. She gets along well with the other 6 dogs in her foster
home. Outside her home, like at the vet or the dog park, she is
not so good with other dogs. She is very shy and fearful around
most men. But once she is familiar with them, she is fine. She is
very fearful at the vet and submissive pees. I think she just
needs some work in this department so her forever home will need to
commit to training to help her resolve these issues.
Betty really wants to listen and is pretty good at basic
commands. She is young so sometimes her listening skills are
lacking. She will do best in a home with a confident male dog.
Betty is very smart. She has learned how to open doors all by
herself. Her foster mom is really happy about that, especially on
rainy days when she lets all the other dogs out into the mud! Betty
loves to play frisbee and is great at catching the frisbee in the
air! She will play till she drops! She has not been
around kids or cats, but I think that she would be fine with proper
introductions. She does like to chase critters that venture into the
yard, like any dog would, but given her desire to listen, I think she
will be able to overcome those behaviors. Because she is young, I
would not place her in a home with extremely young children, but a home
with pet savvy or older ones would be fine.
Healthwise, she has had some hormone issues, but we believe those to be
taken care of upon spaying. She sometimes has a sensitive
stomach, as some GSD's do. A bland diet has taken care of that,
and she is back on normal food, but she may be prone to intestinal
issues so her future home will need to be careful with her diet. She
currently eats Purina One.
Betty is a great dog who deserves a chance with someone willing to work
with her. If you are interested in meeting Betty please complete
