Betty


Could you donate $5 to support this promising but difficult girl?

This pretty lady has potential but she has been a Bad Dog.  Betty and her boyfriend were just too much for their owner (who did NOT do a very good job raising them).  Lucky for them, their owner found a rescue to take them, our friends at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta, rather than dump them at the local kill shelter, where owner surrenders (especially rowdy ones!) have very short life expectancies.  The boyfriend quickly found a home but Betty had “behavioral issues” and no one in their right mind would adopt her.  (Behavioral issues in a 120-pound Pyr are a little bit more serious than in a 15-pound Shih Tzu!) After a number of bad experiences with potential adopters (imagine them running away, screaming), GPRA put Betty into boot camp with a trainer for a few weeks on a farm to smooth out some of her rough edges.  

GPRA has already spent a small fortune on Betty and asked for our help to pay for some of the costs of supporting Betty through the long process of rehabilitating her.
So, if you believe that good dog parenting (and rescuing) means never giving up on a Bad Dog, and you want to help give Betty another chance to find a permanent home with a family, please help raise $125 to support Betty while she transitions from a rebellious youth to becoming the sweet adult she can be!

All donations go directly from Paypal to Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta, a 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax-deductible. Please chip in - together we can help Betty and many more!
