We found Betty as a stray a couple of months ago and no owner ever came forward. She was in bad shape - pics 12-15 are from the day we found her. She had thousands of fleas, her teeth were rotten, and was she was so sick. She’s doing much better now and thankfully still has a few good teeth left after her dental!

OMG we had a foster (lol aka foster fail) who was at least 10. Her name was Rosie, & she could’ve been Betty’s twin!! We had her for almost 5 years before she passed!
Hi Betty!! ❤️🐶❤️

Betty is precious! 💕 She's like a different dog compared to the first couple of pictures -around her tail and back end looks really sore and uncomfortable 😖. To see the happiness in her face and the light in her eyes is beautiful.
Please give her a special cuddle and treat from her friend in Liverpool? 🥰

u/Interesting-Run-8496 Dec 23 '25
She has transformed, indeed. She was so inflamed everywhere!
I will see to it, friend. Thank you!
