A spokesperson tells KPRC 2 that Betty is safe, happy, and loving life with her new forever family.

The pup came to the Houston Humane Society after she was found roaming the streets in freezing Houston temperatures.

Folks at the Houston Humane Society gave Betty a well-deserved glamorous makeover that was golden, just like the late actress. You can see the transformation here.
