BETTY - FEIST / AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Feist / Australian Shepherd / Mixed. PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet. 8/13/25 Please share! Betty needs a home! She’s been in rescue since April. Betty would make a great hiking/running partner!! Betty LOVES kids!! ⚖️She is the perfect size dog at 30 pounds! She is full grown. ⭐️BREED- We were told that Betty's dad is a Mountain Feist/American Coonhound mix and her mom is an Australian Shepherd. ⭐️AGE-estimated DOB 8/18/24 making her almost 1 year old. She is house trained and crate trained!! Cats- She met a cat at the vet and was good. She sniffed him as he walked past (the cat ignored her completely). I think she’ll be just fine with cats but we can do further cat testing if anyone with cats is interested in adopting her. ENERGY/PERSONALITY-She is high energy and can be vocal at times when she is trying to express her wants/needs. While she is high energy, her energy does seem to depend on the energy of the dogs around her. If they're being calm and low key, she often will grab a toy and entertain herself. Though sometimes, she will try to engage them in play. This probably sounds confusing...we can explain more in a conversation if you are interested! She loves to play with toys and loves to play fetch, though she doesn’t always bring it back. She loves to drag big sticks around and chew on them. She loves to play with other dogs-most especially wrestling with her foster sister who is a 110 pound Great Dane/Mastiff mix. A fenced yard will likely be best for her due to her energy and lack of recall, but this can be negotiable depending on the situation. RIDES- Rides were new to her when she came into rescue. She has made great progress! She now seems to enjoy rides but does get a bit nervous. Slowly but surely she is making progress! ⭐️LEASH- She walks on a leash and enjoys going for walks but she does pull so that needs to be worked on. ⭐️KIDS- She has been around 13 year olds and a 7 year old and has done well. She seems to really like kids! ⭐️She is food motivated! She knows "sit" and we are working on stay. She jumps some which we are also working on and she is getting much better with. ⭐️She loves people and has the adorable wiggle but and tail wag when her people get home from work. She went camping recently and every time people walked by, she quietly watched them, wagged her tail, and really really wanted everyone to stop and say hi to her! ⭐️HER STORY- An elderly person had got Betty from a backyard breeder situation when she was a puppy. They decided Betty was too much for an older person, and put her for free on Facebook. Free puppies is never a good thing, so we stepped in and took her before she ended up in a bad situation or bounced from home to home. ⭐️She is a really cool dog! She is very agile and fast. She could likely do some agility work if someone had the time to work w/ her on it. We have tons more pics and videos! Just reach out and we'll send them to you! In New England She is spayed, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.
