Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This precious pittie has known human kindness & certainly had a family once, but things have been a little challenging lately. Picked up as a stray, she spent months at the shelter, then was adopted by someone who received devastating health news not long thereafter & had to give her up. Betsy is about eight years old but has plenty of energy to go on a few good walks per day, She's inquisitive and loves to stay busy with nose and food games. A perfect day for Betsy? Moderate exercise, a healthy snack or two, and then a few hours of lounging around watching Netflix (preferably on the couch next to you!). Betsy is less confident around other dogs than on her own and would do best as an only pet. She'll need a companion with time and patience, as she has some separation anxiety, She enjoys riding in the car, and although she'd prefer to be in the front seat, she's perfectly content to be belted in the back as long as she can look out the window. Fully-vetted (including a comprehensive dental & HW treatment!), she’s ready for a foster or forever home. Please don't overlook this gentle gal just based on her age or breed - she's truly a delightful dog! For more information, please contact Mary at SOS Fosters for Pets in Need – msully2011@gmail.com.

More about this rescue
Domestic violence, cancer, catastrophic injuries, the sudden death of a loved one – these types of challenges can devastate even the strongest of families. Too often, those facing what may feel like insurmountable obstacles are left so depleted, emotionally and financially, that they have nothing left for their pets. Unfortunately, countless dogs and cats are abandoned or surrendered to already overcrowded municipal shelters annually by their heartbroken owners, who’ve simply become too overwhelmed by their circumstances to seek alternative measures. Animals that end up on the street after being in a home are confused and frightened and are unable to survive for long without human companionship. Pets turned over to city shelters usually don’t fare any better; if not adopted within a few weeks – or sometimes even days – they’re euthanized at taxpayer expense.
Animals play an important role in so many families, and when a beloved pet is abandoned or surrendered during a time of crisis, its loss can compound an already difficult situation. It’s the mission of Share Our Space Fosters for Pets in Need, Inc. d/b/a SOS Fosters for Pets in Need, a Texas non-profit charitable organization (EIN 81-5259022), to assist our friends and neighbors during particularly stressful times so that they can weather the storms they are facing without giving up their pets. This mission involves:
Assistance to Victims of Domestic Violence. Research reveals that a person with a pet is less likely to leave a physically or emotionally abusive spouse or partner, for fear that the abuser may harm the pet. Those who flee an unsafe situation and are forced to leave their cherished pet behind may suffer anxiety, guilt, and sadness for years to come. SOS Fosters for Pets in Need can arrange for short-term foster care for the pets of victims of domestic violence until people and pets can be safely reunited.
Assistance to Individuals and Families Facing a Health Crisis. When someone is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness or has suffered a debilitating injury, routine tasks like caring for a pet can be exhausting. SOS Fosters for Pets in Need can assist families facing serious health issues by providing short-term foster care or by arranging and paying for dog-walkers, pet sitters, “poop” clean-up services, etc.
Assistance as a “Safety Net.” By rehoming pets who find themselves homeless after their owners have died, become disabled, or moved into skilled nursing facilities, SOS Fosters for Pets in Need serves as a “pet safety net.”
