Black Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption

Are you looking for a bundle of love with the softest eyes and the happiest tail? Well, Betsy is your pup! With each new experience, this sweet girl is discovering what the world has to offer. She adores cuddles, is learning puppy manners, and is working hard on potty training. She enjoys being outside and is learning to walk on a leash. Like any puppy, she will need patience, consistency, and lots of love - but in return, you will get a loyal best friend for life.

She is interested but a little afraid of the resident cats. She enjoys trying to engage the resident dog and is learning to take cues when her playfulness annoys him.

She sleeps in her crate overnight only making a little noise in the beginning. Betsy loves people and eagerly invites people to say hello.
