Would you like to be a sponsor?
little girl was dumped by a man who backyard breeds and is well known in the area for his apathy towards the proper care of animals. He dumped Betsy and Rose without any explanation. They are both intact and currently in season. This means they are on lock down for several weeks until the vet can spay them safely. Betsy is 2-3 years old with heavy scarring to her teats (lots of babies). She is very outgoing and so far hasn't met anyone (since she's been away from her bad owner) that she doesn't like. She gives hugs and kisses and wags her tail constantly. She seeks a loving home where she will never have babies again and she will be the center of attention.
