About Betty
Betty is a happy girl who loves to please. She is affectionate, cuddly and is sweet and playful.
She has learnt to sit and is now working on "stay". \ Betty is wonderful with people, she loves her pats and cuddles.
Betty is house trained and just a gorgeous girl who is looking for her forever home.
Betty is also learning to walk well on the lead, although, she still needs a reminder not to get ahead of the person walking her.
She is a happy, quiet girl, who as all dogs, enjoys her walks, although she doesnt reqjuire an excessive amount of exercise.
Betty isnt a digger, nor a barker, except when a stranger comes to the door, she soon settles though. Better is not a jumper and she is not destructive in any way, she is just an all round terrific pooch to have in your home.
Medical notes
Betty has been desexed, vaccinated and micro chipped. Betty is up to date with flea and worm control.
Adoption details
Once the animal is advertised candidates for adoption are requested to fill in a form.
The adoption questionnaire form asks where the animal will sleep, details of people and other animals in the home, training and exercise plans etc. We use this form as part of our screening process.
If we like what we read and the animal’s individual needs are met we then conduct an informal phone interview.
Then the potential adopter meets the animal at the carers home or the carer may choose to take the animal to the adopter’s home to do a house and yard inspection.
If the adopter meets the animal at the carer’s home a house/yard inspection is done after the meet.
When the yard inspection is done we are able to further evaluate the suitability of the candidate to adopt.
If we are satisfied that the animals needs will be met by the adopter and that they are a good match for one another then a trial period may begin.
We have legally binding pre-adoption forms which allow us to remove the animal from the home if all other solutions to issues have failed.
We have a good support base which adopters can utilise if needed, such as a professional trainer, a behaviourist, vets and a groomer.
Homeless Hounds offers support to our adopters for the life of the animal. It is policy that each adopter is aware that if the ever need help or to rehome the animal then HH wants to facilitate that.
Our procedures are based on advice from "model" and well established rescue groups and trial and error.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
