Hi! My name is Betty Boop. I’m guessed to be a 3 year old mixed breed dog. My weight at the moment is 53 pounds. My potty training is coming along well. I have not had any accidents in a while. I have good leash manners and I especially like a brisk walk. I do tend to get excited when I see rabbits or other critters but I am learning to listen to my humans when they explain that I should leave the rabbits alone. I have not yet met any cats. I have good manners around the house and don't chew on anything except my toys and Nylabones. I prefer to sleep on a couch or a bed and I'm currently not a big fan of the crate but my foster family thinks I am smart and that I will get used to the crate before too long. I am mainly a quiet couch potato but I do sometimes like to play. I usually only bark if I'm outside or when I try to get my foster sibling to play with me. I am very sweet and love learning new things, especially from my human foster "sibling" who helped to teach me some of things I can now do, such as sit, give paw, spin around, go down, stay & then come. I am definitely food motivated! I love going for rides in the car and would really love to go for a ride to a dog park since my foster family thinks I would enjoy the socialization. I would do fine in a home where I am the only dog or in a home with other dogs or kids in the family. Probably a home without too much chaos would be best: if the door is opening and closing a lot, I might want to zip in and out too. I am super sweet, wag a lot and will give kisses to anyone who wants them.
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
