My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Betty
Breed: Cocker Spaniel
Approximate age: Estimated to be about 7 years
Approximate size: Around 30 lbs
Good with dogs? Yes!
Cats? Unknown at this time!
Kids? Great with kids!
How are they doing with potty training? No issues.
How are they doing in their crate? No issues.
Energy level? Low.
Any issues with guarding? With food, yes. If a dog is near her food, she will bark to let them know to get away.
Leash reactivity? No. Walks very well on a leash.
Fearful? No
Aggression? Not aggressive, but she has an alpha personality and will put other dogs in their place. She does bark and correct other dogs in her foster home if they are playing too loudly/rough (in her opinion). She would be best in a home with other submissive dogs.
Separation anxiety? No
Anything else you'd like to add? Betty recently had all her teeth removed due to severe periodontal disease. She will just need to be on soft food for the rest of her life. She is a super sweet older lady who likes to cuddle and just hang out. You can see the Spaniel in her because her favorite thing to do is to go outside and run along the fence looking for birds or squirrels to bark at.

More about this rescue

ThisIsHouston is a rescue dedicated to helping those who cannot ask for help!

The inundation of graphic dog posts and images on social media seems to have rendered a lot of people helpless. The bystander effect has grabbed a hold of our city and it isn’t loosening its grip. Most people are not aware of the stray overpopulation problem going on in this city. The others don’t help because somebody else will. Well, we are ‘somebody else’. We have no super powers. We have no magic formula or secret that gives us the ability to do what we do. We are just an example of what can be done when people come together for a common cause and leave egos at the door. Why do we do this? Because we choose to. Because we are tired of dogs suffering needlessly. And because we refuse to live in a world where there is a choice not to help.
