Betty is a pointer-Australian shepherd mix who is somewhat confused at the shelter. She was probably in one home her whole life, and now she’s at the shelter.

Despite her change in circumstances, she is very sweet and affectionate, and she gets along well with the other dogs. She seems fine with cats, and would probably be just as happy sitting by your feet as she would be going for a walk.

Betty is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
