Story
Betsy is a sweet 1 yr old Maltese Yorkie mix who weighs about 9 lbs. She came to us from a hoarding/breeding situation in a home with 29 dogs, so she is shy initially, but already starting to blossom. Betsy is a happy, energetic girl who loves to play with toys and the other dogs in her foster home. Her adoptive home should have another small, social, playful pup not larger than 15 pounds. Betsy enjoys sleeping in bed with her foster mom and her dogs but is also happy to sleep in her own bed in the same room. Coming to us from a breeder situation means everything is new to Betsy, including house training; however, her foster mom says she is learning quickly. Betsy will need someone with patience to help her continue to be successful. Betsy is doing very well with leash walking and will make a great walking companion. Betsy is also becoming more comfortable meeting new people. Betsy's hair is silky soft and requires combing and regular grooming, which she has done well with so far. We require a securely fenced yard for Betsy so she can have the opportunity to play safely supervised in her own yard, and a fenced yard helps with housetraining, and most importantly it is an added layer of safety because she is very quick! The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com. There is an application process and adoption fee. WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD. The secure fence must be 4ft or higher, with gaps no greater than 2 inches, and attached to the home - meaning you have an inside door that opens into the fenced yard. An invisible fence, enclosed patio, terrace or deck, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing) it needs to be at least 36 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT. No exceptions. We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Response time can take up to 5 business. Please inquire only if you are willing to come to Greensboro, NC to meet the dog after we schedule your home visit. We do not ship dogs or put them on transports. Veterinary Care: All Hart-2-Heart Rescue foster dogs are spayed/neutered, current on heartworm prevention, parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies vaccines, and are professionally groomed. As needed, our foster dogs have teeth cleanings, extractions, bloodwork and other diagnostic testing. Adoption Fee: $500February 21, 2025, 12:12 am
