Betty, pit bull terrier

Betty is a female pit bull terrier dog currently residing at Doggie Rescue LV/Animal Help Alliance.

Betty will do best with an owner who has time to bond with her. She will need a home free of other dogs, cats and children. She already has had all of her shots, and she is spayed. She is already house-trained. Betty is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.

Betty's current caretakers say:

Betty is a very special girl. It was clear when she arrived at rescue that she had endured abuse: She was depressed and suffered trauma to her eyes. While we couldn't save her eyes, we worked on repairing her heart. In rehab, she has improved by leaps and bounds. Favorite activities include cuddling, going for walks and rolling in the grass. Whoever wins this girl over will have the most loyal friend anyone could hope for.
