Betty has been adopted! 01-01-2006

Betty is a classic black and tan beauty who loves people. We are in the process of getting to know this pretty girl - she is probably around 2 years old. Betty is an average sized female with all the classic shepherd traits.

We are working on her dog to dog skills - we do know that she is incredibly bright and loves to go on walks. We believe that Betty is an alpha and might do best as an only dog but we will update her bio as we bring her on social outings and help her get used to life outside the slammer.

Update 7/29/06:

Betty has settled into the routine of a rescue life in her short time with us. She is incredibly bright and strong willed. She gets along with other friendly dogs - she is an alpha so won't commune well with an alpha in her new family.

Betty isn't interested in strong arm tactics, she prefers a kinder, gentler approach to discipline. She LOVES water and is a beautiful girl. Betty is about 2 years old and probably has never had a loving home. She brightens up every time we take her to an adoption event - she is a diamond in the rough and gets more polished every day!

The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
