Betty White wound up stray in Cleveland and she was taken to the animal control facility for safe keeping. She was tested positive for heartworms and we took her in to care for her. Betty is an outgoing Bull Terrier who we estimate to be around 3 years old. If you are not familiar with the breed they can be very stubborn and high energy….experience is preferred for her adoption.
Betty will be treated for heartworms over the next few months and then about six months later she will be spayed.

Volunteer Report (from trip to Gateway Animal Clinic):
This little girl is pure delight. She was the happiest dog at a vets office that I’ve ever seen. She even wagged her tail as they drew blood. Funny, social, affectionate, smart, good looking, and good on leash (except for when she decides to do zoomies when you’re laying on the grass rubbing her belly).
