A dog that spent well over 400 nights in an animal shelter has finally found a loving home.
Betty, now known as Betty-Boo, was constantly overlooked by prospective owners for being too timid.
But for one Northland couple she was the perfect fit.
Rachael Church is one of Betty-Boo's new mums and she talks to Jesse about their new house mate and the adoption process.
