Betty - Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in San Francisco, California

12-pound Betty watches and likes to be close to her people and will seek out your company - and sometimes, but not always! - your lap. She doesn't seem to have much experience with things like stairs or riding in cars but even after just a few days in foster, she is showing much more courage.

Regular exposure with gentle encouragement will help her be at ease with new experiences.

She loves to go outside for short sniffing expeditions, and to do her business. She is fostered in a home with another small dog to whom she has given space, and has begun to show short bursts of interest in play.

Betty would do well with someone who can offer her the time and patience she needs. Being home more often than not-at least, initially-will be important.

While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
