Playful and resilient Betsy Ross is learning that people can be safe and life can be good. After being found abandoned in a crate outside in the heat on the Fourth of July, she has made wonderful progress in foster care and is ready for a patient, compassionate family in the Tampa Bay Area.

Ideal Home

Betsy may need time to build trust. She is more comfortable with women and can be cautious around unfamiliar people, particularly men. Meeting new people on neutral ground is easier for her, though she may still be standoffish at first. Once she feels safe, her sweet, loving, goofy personality shines through.

She is continuing to build confidence around other dogs and is showing improvement. Betsy is not recommended for a home with cats.

Ongoing Health

Betsy previously experienced painful rashes and has very sensitive skin. She is healing and continuing to gain confidence after her difficult past.

Training & Support

Betsy is smart and already working on sit, down, touch, come, and leash skills. She is house-trained and continues to make progress every day.
