Meet Betty Spaghetti! Betty is super loving, loves to give kisses and play with squeeky toys (her duck is her favorite and has gone through many surgeries to repair partial decapitations, eek!). If you need help waking anyone up, simply give her a good rub in your hallway and let her tail thump on the walls lol! She is 3-4 years old, spayed, house-trained, dog-door trained and about 75 pounds and up to date on all vaccines and flea & tick meds. Since her rescue we've been working on her training. Betty has just about mastered heel, sit, stay, come and down. Betty needs to be an only dog at all times and is not good with small animals. Betty is also under professional training with a trainer based in El Segundo. Her training goes with her so that her new family can continue all of the great work she has already accomplished. Betty would be great for the person looking for a loving dog as well as some personal/property protection. Betty was rescued from a high kill shelter. Her belonging will go with her (toys, bed etc) to help ease the transition and be a comfort to her.
