Billy was surrendered to the rescue with 5 other dogs, who are also listed. His owner was having health issues and was elderly. He was not able to care for the dogs properly any longer and wanted them to have better lives with someone who could. Billy and the other dogs were pretty much confined to one room and really only saw the older gentleman. They are friendly once they feel comfortable but can be skittish and nippy initially with new people. Billy is fearful and undersocialized initially but he is young and comes around once he feels safe and comfortable. Billy has shown a tendency to be nippy initially and for this reason, it is best if he goes to a adult only home, which is what he is used to or a home with older children who would be able to give him his space until he became comfortable. Billy, we were told, is a chihuahua mix and we think he is most likely a chiweenie(chihuahua/dachshund mix) and is about 1 year old. He has done well with other dogs and we feel like he would also be fine in a home with cats. Billy just wants to live a spoiled dogs life where he can soak up someone's love and attention and he deserves that.
Billy saw the vet on 2/21/24. He is a bit of a mess but all is easily treatable. He did test negative for heartworms. He has been started on Simparica Trio for monthly heartworm prevention/flea control. He did test positive for hookworms and whipworms so we treated him with Drontal for the hooks and whips. Skin and hairloss issues as well as earmites were found on his exam so he was given a Convenia injection for the skin/hairloss and has started the Simparica Trio which will treat the earmites and fleas, which,most likely, caused the skin issues. Billy also came with a minor cleft palate that is not affecting him in any way and only adds to his unique charm and cuteness. Billy weighed 14.7 pounds as of 2/21/24.
If interested in giving Billy his forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). Billy's adoption fee will be $250 to help cover the cost of his vetting and daily care while with us. We will only consider applicants who complete the adoption application and will determine whether the applicant would be a good fit for Billy based on the info provided in the application. If we feel that you will be a good match for him, we will set up a meet and greet appointment with you.

The more people who get involved, the more pets that we can save! You can also see our pets and/or fill out our adoption application on www.petfinder.com.
