Fuzzy Pawz Rescue

We are a group of volunteers whose mission is to rescue and re-home abandoned, stray and neglected dogs and cats throughout Southern Idaho and Northern Utah. We work with many shelters and pounds that often find themselves with no room to spare.Whenever possible we also assist dogs and cats who, because of extenuating circumstances, are unable to remain in their homes with their owners.

Meet Betty

Foster Location:  Boise ID Age:  Approximately 3 years old Breed: Chihuahua Mix Size:  22 pounds Vaccinated, microchipped   Adoption fee: $57.00 + $17.99 microchip registration fee   DO NOT email us, you must fill out an application if interested: Adoption Application: https://fuzzypawzrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application-2/     Betty is a three year-old roly-poly Chihuahua mix. She is energetic and lively. Betty was born without eyeballs, so she is blind. But her other senses are keen and well honed. Betty also has deformed legs that caused her gate to be slower and less efficient than your average four-legged creature. She learns her surroundings quickly and has even surprised her foster parent by teaching herself how to use the dog door.   Betty goes to the park every day to get exercise. She loves being in the grass and basking in the sunshine. Goin go on walks is not Betty’s style. She would rather run for short distances and then sit down and rest.   The couch is Betty’s favorite place to snuggle. She loves to sit in your lap, roll over onto her back and have her belly rubbed.  She loves to be held and sometimes she gets to go for a ride in a dog bag that her foster parent wears around her shoulders.  If it’s not too hot outside, Betty also enjoys sitting on the patio of a winery or a brewery. She is social and likes to be pet by everyone.   Betty currently lives with a couple of other dogs. Sometimes Betty shows aggression by running toward a dog and growling. However, this behavior has gotten better over time and with continued love, and behavioral correction, it should continue to improve.    Although crate trained, Betty will sometimes pee on soft surfaces that are not in her crate, like other dogs’ beds. So, creating a regular potty schedule will be important for Betty, she does GREAT with a regular potty routine.   Betty has not been spayed yet as our vet was concerned about surgery at her size. She is currently on a weight management dog food, getting exercise and is losing weight slowly. The rescue will arrange to have her spayed once she hits a better weight at no cost to the adopter.
