Betsy

My story

Betsy is a sweet dog who loves toys, especially balls. Betsy has a medical condition in her spine that affects her back legs. Although she can run like the wind when she is on a soft surface like grass, she slips on tile or other slippery hard surfaces, and often falls when she is walking/running up stairs. She enjoys short walks and walks well on a leash, although her back toes/nails make a clicking sound as she is walking tippy toed on her back legs. She does not appear to be in pain from her condition.She gets along with other dogs to a point, i.e. she had a dispute with one of her foster's resident dogs over a toy, so if she is with other dogs, there should not be toys present. She eats very fast, so probably would be food possessive also. She loves treats and gets very excited when a treat is anticipated.She sleeps well in her crate overnight. She is not housetrained, but seemed to be getting the hang of pottying outdoors after watching her foster's resident dogs.She seems more comfortable with women than men, and often did a low (fear) growl when a man approached her.She is not particularly cuddly as she has a lot of energy despite her condition. She seemed more interested in playing with toys rather than receiving pets, but would occasionally roll over for a belly rub.
