My story

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

Betty was found as a stray. She had severe periodontal disease and was in desperate need of a groom. She unfortunately needed all her teeth removed but hasn’t let that slowed her down any! She’s still in great spirits and has pep in her step. She will just need to be on soft food for the rest of her life. She is great with other dogs, 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. Betty is great with children too. She is kennel & potty trained. She is low energy. She walks great on a leash and is a good car rider too! If a dog is near her food, she will bark to let them know to get away. 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.
