Betsy

Sweet Betsy came into the rescue with 8 other dogs when their owner was going to surrender them to a high kill shelter in Kentucky. She is currently in our DASH Prison Program where she is learning to socialize with other dogs and humans. Dogs she loves, humans she is still learning to trust, so big crowds are not her thing and she will bark to let you know she's uncomfortable in a situation. She is also a little sensitive to loud noises and touch when she's caught unaware, but her handler is working with her on both of those things. She is working on her basic commands as well as crate training. She is housebroken in the prison setting and walks on a leash. She was around cats in her foster home prior to going into the prison program and did not seem to care about them much. She has not been around kids. Small kids may not be a good fit, just due to her shyness, but older respectful kids should be fine. This girl came from a really tragic place where she was not given any love or affection and she is going to take some time to realize she deserves all of that and more with her new forever family, but once she does she will reward you with being a very loyal and loving companion.
