BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Betsy Casteel

Betsy@mowigglebutts.org

Co-Founder
Betsy has loved the Cocker Spaniel breed ever since the original Wiggle Butt entered her life, a buff Cocker Spaniel named Molly. For more than 30 years now, she has been involved in rescue for numerous organizations. The Wiggle Butts she’s most interested in now are of the smaller variety. There are too many babies who need help, and she’s all about doing that!
