“I had to assure him I was there to help.”
When Betty Walter received a text message from a friend about a dog injured by a car, she told the friend who to contact in order to get the dog the assistance she needed. Walter had rescued and fostered dogs before, but she was at work at the time and knew she didn’t have place for any more. But as the day progressed, she couldn’t stop thinking about the dog, and after her shift was done, she drove out to check whether she’d been saved yet.
When Walter arrived, she saw that the dog had remained — along with another dog that was guarding her.
Betty White and Allen, the dogs, had discovered a grassy location away from the road where Betty could relax. Allen was well aware that she was hurt, which is why he refused to leave her side. He sat there guarding her, frightening anyone who came too close. He clearly cared for her and want for her to be OK.
“There were a couple of dogs in the distance as I pulled up, and he chased them away,” Walter told The Dodo. “He raced toward me when I got out of my car to look at her… I had to reassure him that I was there to assist him.”
Walter spent time attempting to earn Allen’s trust so that he would allow her to assist Betty. Her buddy who had contacted her came over after a time to assist her in loading Betty into the car. Allen was there the entire time, keeping an eye on Betty to make sure she was okay. Walter and her buddy were able to catch Allen once she was in the car. He made it apparent that he wished to accompany her. They had to be rescued together if they were to survive.
Walter knew she had to make place for the dog best friends as soon as she witnessed their lovely relationship and brought them home to foster them. She was concerned that if she didn’t, she wouldn’t be able to find someone else to take them, and they would be separated.
“It’s difficult to locate foster homes for large dogs here in Houston,” Walter added.
Betty required surgery to repair a shattered pelvis. She returned home to her new foster family to recuperate and be with Allen after the procedure. As the weeks passed, Walter saw how closely Betty and Allen are connected. Allen wouldn’t leave her side after she was injured since they love each other so deeply. He simply desired to be near her at all times.
Betty has to recuperate a little more before she can find her ultimate home. She requires heartworm medication and physical therapy, and Walter anticipates that she will be ready for adoption in a few months. Allen is theoretically ready at this point, but he’s not leaving Betty behind.
Betty and Allen just want to find a loving home where they can be together after everything they’ve been through, and Walter is determined to assist them in doing so.
“They adore being the center of attention,” Walter explained. “They require someone who will lavish them with kisses and embraces.” To protect them and make them feel safe. Allen enjoys toys, so he’ll need someone to toss the ball around with and play chase with. Betty wishes to sleep in a bed at your feet.”
