Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Handsome, young, sweet natured Billy Curtis comes to us from Greenville, SC after being picked up as a stray. Billy who we named after the actor Billy Curtis that played the munchkin in the Wizard of Oz has been given this name due to him being born with a genetic birth defect called chondrodysplasia or dwarfism. There is no correcting this deformity. You would never know Billy has it when you see him get around. He does everything a dog does, with ease. Billy is good with other dogs, well mannered, healthy and a joy to be around. He walks well on leash and is social to all he meets. This is a very special boy who will fill your heart with love for years to come.
If you're interested in our special needs fellow, please go to our website at : www.bigastakitarescue.net and fill out an adoption application for Billy.
