Bette's Story
When Bette was saved from the Colgate, OK auction on March 15th, her rescuer knew immediately that there was something very wrong with her physically. Aside from a serious overbite, Bette was unable to run and play as a 5 month old pup should. Upon further examination, it was discovered that Bette had severely luxating patellas. In fact, it was so severe that her left kneecap was on the outside of her leg.
On Monday, April 14th, Bette underwent a difficult surgery to repair her more profoundly affected left knee. In 2-3 weeks, she will return to have her right knee repaired. At last report, despite having just come out of surgery and being in a great deal of discomfort, this little girl was handing out kisses and wagging her tail. Bette has a very long road ahead of her but it doesn't seem to have dampened her wonderful Chin personality!
We will continue to keep you updated on her progress!
Until next time,

I saw Betty at Dr. Fox's the other day! She is the sweetest cutest thing! If I wasn't already a dog mom to some big dogs, I'd be taking her with me tomorrow!
