BLIND BETTY

WILL YOU ADOPT ME? OR BE MY FOSTER
FAMILY UNTIL I FIND A FOREVER HOME?



Hi. I'm Betty
and I'm blind.
I was picked
up wandering
aimlessly on a
busy road. I was
very lucky to
not get hit by
one of the many
cars that passed
me by—without
stopping to help.
But then I heard
the sound of a
vehicle braking
and a door opening.
Suddenly, there were gentle hands petting me and scooping
me up.

Now I'm in the shelter. It was pretty scary at first, but it was
clean and there was food, water, and a bed with a thick quilt.
I'm in a fairly small kennel, so it didn't take me long to learn
my territory. I did get a few bruises on my nose until I had
the wall locations firmly fixed in my mind. Then I located
the flap to the outside. That's good because I'm very house-
trained and was pleased to find a place where I could do
my business.

I'm a sweet, loving girl who walks well on leash (with
guidance, of course). I learn very quickly and would make
a grand addition to your family.

Is there a place in your heart for me?
There's plenty of room in mine for you!

10-MILE TOMMY


Tommy went for a 10-mile
ride today without getting
sick. He loves to ride with
his head out the window and
his ears flapping in the wind.
He smiled the whole way.

Cherie


This was a real milestone for Tommy. At first, he
couldn't make it even a quarter mile. But he's always
up for a ride anyway.

Tommy is still looking for a forever home. To learn
more about this wonderful dog, see our Sept. 7 blog
and also go to the DAWG website.
