Betty

2016 - 2026

On May 17, 2018, Betty landed in the United States as a rescue from Kuwait with nothing more than a wish for a better life. We brought this sweet girl home for a “two week trial” on June 21st. We were in love and she stayed to live her best life.

Betty overcame many fears from past trauma, some fears she kept working on to overcome. She learned to like tall men and not be so afraid of poles or sticks. She disliked fireworks and thunderstorms, nor was she fond of rain and wind. DNA results shared that Betty was Anatolian Shepherd, German Shepherd and Saluki

Betty loved hikes, jumping on logs and splashing in streams. She was always ready for a walk and loved stopping by shops on Main Street in her town to say “hello” to her human friends.

Baked chicken was a favorite meal, as well as an occasional treat of pit beef scraps on Saturday at the American Legion or a pup cup at the local coffee shop. We would “walk-thorugh” the drive up window, she would place her order and wait patiently.

Betty passed peacefully on March 1, 2026 outside on our deck laying on her favorite chair in the sun. She was unexpectedly diagnosed with pleural effusion due to a hemorrhaging mass in her chest. We did not know Betty’s age, but she was always a puppy at heart.

Betty brought so much love and joy to our lives. 7 ½ years with her was not nearly enough time and we are truly heartbroken without her. She will be in our hearts forever.

Rest easy sweet girl.
