Betsy

My story

Betsy is estimated to be a 4 year old Havanese. She came to us from one of our rescue partners looking for a fresh start after being released from a commercial breeder. Here she was used for profit and now she is learning what it’s like to be a normal dog. Like a lot of other commercial breeds dogs she is looking for a home that can provide patience, love and training. She is affectionate and definitely wants attention which isn’t always the case. However she will need work on basic things as in: - Potty training as she probably lived in a kennel majority of her time and is learning routine on going in and out. - Leash training as this is the first time she’s worn a leash or harness. She doesn’t need another dog in her household but another dog could help on walks for her to follow. At this time we are requiring a fenced yard, however that could change if she makes progress in this. - She will be adjusting to a new environment and so reassurance when she there are loud noises or new things will be so helpful.
