Story
Betty is living in a foster home. Please submit an application from our website and/or email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to learn if you are a match! We first saw Betty at Chicago Animal Care and Control back in late July. It was extremely loud in the pavilion where she was being kept and she was snoozing away like an angel. We took her in shortly after that and she went right into a foster home with a young child and senior dog. They were not able to keep Betty long term, so she has spent the last few months in another wonderful foster home with her foster mom and a cat. Betty came to us with a condition called hypothyroidism, which had clearly never been treated. It is due to a decrease in thyroid hormone production and can cause lethargy, weight gain, and skin discoloration. When treated with a hormone replacement pill, which is not expensive, it has a great prognosis and rarely causes further complications. Betty has been taking her supplement and after a couple rounds of blood tests, Betty's hypothyroidism is officially controlled and she is now adoptable! Betty is housebroken on her current routine and enjoys the company of her foster cat sibling! Her favorite thing is getting belly rubs from her foster mom. Betty, being the adorable chonky chi that she is, is very tempting to reach out and pet right away but Betty needs to be wooed properly first. Her foster mom has grandkids aged 6 and 9 who come over regularly. They gave Betty some turkey (her fave!) the first few times they came over, and now are able to pet Betty without issue. If Betty is not properly introduced she will make her displeasure knows by doing a little chihuahua air-snap (she has never bitten anyone). It is important this little lady's boundaries are respected! Betty walks great on a leash, occasionally barking at other dogs or people if she is feeling scared. Betty lived with another dog in her first foster home and did well; we think she is comfortable with dogs (and cats, of course) around her size and may bark and feel intimidated by larger dogs. Betty's foster mom has loved having her the past few months. She writes, "Betty is a 10 year old sweetheart with a body of a Corgi and a face of a Chihuahua. She is sweet and loving to her foster mom. Loves to cuddle and get belly rubs. She learns routines quickly and makes it clear what she wants when she needs something." We hope you will consider giving this very deserving senior a permanent home in which to live out the rest of her years. Betty's adoption fee is $150. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
