Meet Betty!
UPDATE 1-17-21 :
Betty was adopted in September 2020 and sadly, her family has relinquished her back to ARWOB. This was not Betty's fault, as her adopter stated that the family realized they are not ready to have a dog. They feel she would be better off with a family that can give her more attention and who has a bigger home with a yard. Here is what they have to say about Betty:
"I cannot emphasize what a great pup she is. Overall she is house trained, but occasionally will chew on a sock, sandal or a cord (but the cord thing was our fault because we should have kept it out of reach). She will use the pee pad when the family is home with her, but she will hold it when we leave her alone. When she is home alone, she has access to the pee pad, but does not use it often. The longest she has been home alone is 5 hours. She sleeps at night in her crate without issue. However, she naps in the day on my son's bed or sofa chair. She just loves children and other dogs. She can sometimes be skittish around bigger dogs, but then she warms up after a while. We have traveled (by car) outside of San Diego county and she does great in car rides. And I am impressed how she is not a barker. She will occasionally bark but it's never continuous. We have taught her to "sit" in Spanish and she will listen to "stay" unless she gets really excited. We have her on a regular walking schedule of 3-4 times a day so she gets her exercise."
ORIGNINAL RESCUE STORY :
Betty is an adorable terrier mix, who was rescued off the streets of Tijuana in early July and is a great little pup! Betty will likely be full grown in the 20-25 pound range as a typical small breed mix.
Like all pups, she is very outgoing and will need an adopter who is willing to enroll her in dog training classes. She is already crate trained and is getting the hang of house training. She is not a very vocal small breed dog, which is great. She loves dogs, cats and kids. She is very sweet and a little nervous when first meeting new people, but quickly relaxes.
Betty is scheduled to be spayed on 9/4 in the San Diego area, and as such we prefer adopters who are local to San Diego, as it will be a requirement for her adopters to be able to drive Betty to and from her spay appointment. Betty is ready to go home as soon 8/1
The meet and greet will be scheduled in the 92117 area and we are accepting applications now. Please submit online at www.arwob.org
