Betty 🧸

Introducing Betty, our long legged beauty who arrived in care at 6 weeks old. She is the last of the Great Dane x babies to secure herself a forever home, and currently in foster care with her sister Brenda, foster friend Bruce, 2 Host Dogs, and of course her humans that include young children. She is not currently living with cats, but think she would be fine if introduced correctly.

Betty has settled in beautifully to her foster home and enjoys the company of both other dogs and humans. She's an active girl when she has her furry friends around, but also quite happy to laze around in the sunshine and quite chilled when on her own. She is proving to be quite a clever girl and learning basic commands in her foster home. Betty is quite happy to spend her days outdoors as long as she has someone to play with, a full belly, a comfy place to snooze and some toys (or sticks/leaves) to keep her amused. Betty sleeps outdoors at night, alongside her furry friends in a nice comfy bed. Toilet training is well underway and she does tend to follow the Host Dogs lead, so as long as this was continued in her new home, we believe this will be mastered in no time.

Betty has been cuddled, kissed and adored by young children during her time in care, and we feel she would suit a home with or without another dog, as long as she was made to feel a part of the family. If she was to be an only dog, she would need the company of her humans around, so those who work from home or retired would be ideal. Betty will grow to be a big girl and would need continued socialisation with other dogs during her puppy stage and into adulthood, as well as ongoing training so that she grows up to be a well mannered and socialised young lady. She will need a medium to large yard with height appropriate fencing.

We would love to help get you started with that, so our amazing supporters, Best Friends - Erina, have kindly offered to include a 5 week Puppy training course with all of our Puppy adoptions (up to 16wks of age)....The Best Friends Puppy Pre-School service is a fun and interactive five-week training course that covers puppy behaviours, diet, health, grooming, exercise and play, with an emphasis on socialisation, command training, health and care. Their aim is to teach you positive ways to train your puppy in basic skills such as ‘sit’, ‘drop’, ‘stay’, and how to walk well on a lead, but also how to control your puppy’s not so desirable behaviours like toileting inside, biting, mouthing and separation anxiety.

Due to Betty’s size/breed, we will be allowing her to be re-homed under a desex agreement. This will mean that Betty must be returned to one of our approved vets on the Central Coast for desexing, no later than 11th of April 2020 (6 months old). We have consulted a number of vets who have all confirmed this is an appropriate age for the breed/size. For this reason, there will be no interstate adoptions and we will be ideally looking for a home on the Central Coast.

Betty is located in Mardi on the Central Coast NSW. She comes Microchipped, Vaccinated (1st & 2nd vacc), vet checked, wormed and flea/tick treated. She is more than ready to find her forever home and looking forward to meeting her new family.
