On any given day at ADLA there is one light that shines brighter than any other and that is Bethzaida, the only paid member of the team. Starting each day with a chorus of excited howls on her arrival, the dogs absolutely adore her. 'Betsy' as she is known to everyone here, although diminutive in stature is a powerhouse behind the cleaning, feeding and care of all the four legged residents. With one clear command she can silence the entire chorus. She can wrangle even the biggest dog into it's kennel by her own tender, playful method.While inside the house on a coffee break, she keeps tabs on what's going out in the yard, recognizing each dog individually by it's bark - an amazing feat, in my one week, I had difficulty remembering more than a dozen or so names, let alone the sound each dog made! Betsy is an eternally cheerful and dedicated member of the team, singing and dancing her way through the work day, her love of animals is always evident - and they all love her in return.
