Meet Betty! 🖤🐾 Big paws, big personality, and plenty of puppy mischief! Betty is a gorgeous Neo Mastiff cross baby girl with a whole lot of growing, learning and exploring ahead of her! This confident little lady is happy to dive into new experiences and loves keeping herself entertained with toys, chewing and a good game of tug-of-war. She's a playful, independent girl who isn't afraid to make her presence known! Betty is still learning her puppy manners, particularly when it comes to her mouthy play style and respecting other dogs' boundaries. She can be quite enthusiastic, so she'll need a home committed to consistent, positive training and helping her learn when it's time to play and when it's time to settle. She's been around cats and children, but will need close supervision with both, as her excitement can sometimes get the better of her. The good news? She's already doing brilliantly with crate training and sleeps quietly through the night! Betty has a medical waiver that the team would be more than happy to discuss with potential adopters. Betty will be looking for a home that can offer: ✨Ongoing positive, reward-based training and puppy socialisation. ✨Plenty of appropriate toys, enrichment and opportunities to burn off puppy energy. ✨Patient guidance with mouthing, jumping and learning good manners. ✨Supervision and guidance around children, cats and other dogs. ✨A family ready for all the fun (and hard work!) that comes with raising a large-breed puppy. If you're ready for a big-hearted girl with an even bigger future ahead of her, Betty could be your perfect match! ❤️
If Betty isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
