Betsy
American Pit Bull Terrier mix
Female
1 year old
35 lbs.
Introducing Betsy, a compact ball of love and energy, wrapped up in a petite 35 lb. package! Despite reaching her full size, she’s still a pup at heart, brimming with boundless enthusiasm and excitement!
Playing with furry friends is one of her favorite pastimes, but she’s quickly learning that not all pups share her endless energy. Whether it’s daycare, playdates, or training classes with her foster mom, she’s quite the social butterfly! But when canine pals aren’t up for playtime, she’s mastered the art of self-entertainment. Chasing balls, engaging in tug-of-war battles, or indulging in a little stuffy toy destruction—count her in! But you know what’s just as thrilling as playtime? Learning new things! Betsy is a smarty-pants pup who loves tackling puzzles and training games. From mastering basic commands like sit and stay to more advanced tricks like spin and touch, she’s always eager to impress!
Trusting new people and adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings can be a bit daunting at first for Betsy. Currently Betsy feels more safe and reassured with her foster mom, but is involved with foster dad to help build her trust with men. Walks can be a bit intimidating, especially with traffic or construction noise, but with positive reinforcement and continued training, she’s sure to gain confidence.
Betsy would thrive in an active household with another playful pup or plenty of canine friends for playdates. Whether it’s hiking, running, or learning new tricks, she’s up for any adventure- a true Colorado dog! While she loves expressing her affection, she’s still learning to be gentle, which is why a home without young children is a must. Betsy has done well meeting cats and with a slow and proper introduction, she could live harmoniously with one.
Betsy’s true happiness lies in a loving and patient family devoted to nurturing her. With continued guidance, training and support, she’ll evolve into a devoted companion, offering endless kisses, countless adventures and plenty of tail wags!
