Betsy Needs a Foster Home!

Betsy has been with us since January, making her one of our longest length of stay animals. She really needs a break from the shelter, and would love to find a temporary home without any other dogs where she can snooze and get all the belly rubs her heart desires! Can you foster Betsy?
