BETTY
Beautiful Betty is a female lurcher pup approximately 5 months old. She was rescued with her brother Barney off the streets in Ireland and is now looking for a home to call hers. She is currently in the care of the SPCA in Ireland, and Kerry Greyhound Connection is helping to find her a home. Betty is a beautiful girl with a brindle coat and has the most intelligent face.
~ Personality ~
Betty is a smashing girlie with so much potential. She adores people but has a special spot for kids – she is extremely gentle and well behaved with the kids in her foster home. She is more confident than her brother and absolutely loves being out, greeting everybody. Betty is very curious about the world around her and quite adventurous. She is a typical puppy and is full of that lust for life and exuberance that only puppies possess. It’s going to be such a joy to show this happy-go-lucky girl the world around her.
~ Other Animals ~
Betty is brilliant with all the other animals she has met so far. She is dog and cat friendly, and even horse friendly! Betty loves racing around playing lurcher tag with the other dogs in her foster home. She is good with other dogs and, though play can get a bit boisterous at times, she does listen if the other dog tells her to stop. She is a very well behaved lady. Betty is sociable with the other cats in her foster home; though she might be spurred on to chase a very skittish kitty. This could be worked on with training if needed, and Betty responds well to tasty treats. We also recommend all puppies attend a dog training or socialising class as it’s a great opportunity for them to romp and play with other dogs, as well as learn some new commands.
~ In the Home ~
Betty and her brother Barney are currently being fostered in an outdoor kennel situation, so have not yet been in a home. New owners will need to be prepared to show them around the house and set some rules in place from day one. They may have a few accidents at the very start, but it’s worth noting that many housetrained dogs will have mistakes at the start too! It shouldn’t take too long to get this girlie in to a nice routine as she is so eager to please.
~ Out and About ~
Though still just a puppy, Betty walks fabulously on the lead and rarely pulls. In fact she is so mannered that a child could, and does, walk her! This girl is very responsive to training and might be a real star in the making for something like agility. Betty simply loves getting out and seeing the world. Because she is so well mannered, she is a joy to bring anywhere too. She often gets to go offlead on her fosterer’s land and it’s fun to see her running and chasing with the other dogs, then splashing about in the stream to cool down. Though still just a puppy with all that unlimited puppy energy, once Betty matures a bit she will be your typical lazy lurcher, content with a medium amount of exercise.
~ Where Am I? ~
Betty is currently in the care of the SPCA in Ireland and will be transported via Kerry Greyhounds to the UK when a suitable home offer comes up. This will be organised and paid for by both Kerry Greyhounds and the Irish SPCA, and we ask for a donation to help cover costs. Please note that adopters will need to travel to our nearest collection point to pick her up, and if you wish to meet before adopting her, she may be fostered in the Norfolk area if a space is available.
~ Want To Adopt Me? ~
Betty is not yet neutered so new owners will need to agree to have this done when she is old enough (after 6mths). Kerry Greyhound Connection will check up on this, and may request a down-payment on the neutering bill as an insurance that it will be done. Betty is vaccinated, de-flea'd and wormed and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure.
If you are interested in adopting Betty, please email me on tamakin_84@yahoo.co.uk for our adoption application form and information pack. Emails are usually replied to within 24hrs. Thanks!
