Billie is an adorable young mix, thought to be a Pointer/Aussie/Lab mix. She’s about 44 lbs and estimated at 4 years old. Billie joined us from a very horrible neglectful situation. She, along with eight other dogs, was rescued from a trailer after the owner was taken to a mental health facility. All dogs were starved; two did not survive. Billie was one of the survivors, but barely so. She was skin and bones when joining our rescue program, with a look of hopelessness in her eyes. During the last several weeks that Billie has been in her foster home, she has made notable progress, gaining weight, looking better, feeling more confident, and showing us some pep in her step! She’s even starting to play with other dogs.
Ideal Home
An ideal home and family for Billie is one who can understand her past and give her the time and space she needs to continue to build her confidence and blossom into the loving, playful girl she deserves to be. Good nutrition is very important given her past. Billie is good with other dogs, but the preferred home for Billie would be as an only dog or with another calm, friendly dog. She’d love a secure, fenced yard where she could run, play, and exercise. She is scared of quick movements at this time, so younger children might be overwhelming to her; older children should be fine.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned, but good nutrition is very important given her past.
Training & Support
Billie is scared of quick movements, so patience and understanding will be key as she continues to build her confidence.
