Betty Boop

My story

Dog name: Betty Boop  Breed: beagle  Sex: female Age: approximately 10 years Weight: 20 pounds  Medical Needs: Betty Boop has lived a hard life, and her body shows it.    She’s not spayed, her teeth are bad, she has mammary tumors (they’re being biopsied on 2/17) and a mass on her hind end.  In addition, she has a grade 3/4 heart murmur that makes it unsafe for her to go under anesthesia to fix anything mentioned above.  For that reason, she is technically hospice, and will need a home willing to give her all the love for the time she has left. However long that may be.  Good in a crate: Yes and no. She sleeps all night without making a peep. If she is crated during the day and she knows you're there, be prepared for some noise. Good in the car: Yes, Betty is harnessed in the back on her dog bed and she lays right down. She is perfect in the car! Good on a leash: Yes, she's got tiny legs but she walks nicely and has no problems walking a mile and a half daily. Energy level: medium  For her age she is pretty spry. She likes walks and letting her hound nose do some sniffing. She enjoys wandering around the back yard, playing with toys and she has recently started playing with her very playful foster sister. Need a fenced in yard: No, she will be fine with leashed walks. Dog Friendly: Yes If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home? No Cat Friendly? There are no cats in her current foster home, but I believe she's been exposed to cats. I don't think there would be an issue. Kid Friendly: There are no children in her foster home, but I believe she would be friendly with all ages. That being said, she's not a dog that's going to be a playmate for a child. She's very small, frequently gets underfoot, and would probably do best in a quieter home. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? 8 and up Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know: Betty Boop came from a neglectful living situation and was taken in by a good Samaritan who was no longer able to keep her. Dogs are so resilient and it's amazing that she is so friendly to people and that she has adapted so easily to life in a home. She is quite the shadow, following her foster parents wherever they go. This girl is looking for a soft place to land and enjoy her golden years.. Foster location: Betty Boop is being fostered in Dover, Delaware.
