Billy is about 2 years old and has packed a lot of living into the past 3 months. His early years are a mystery, though some of his behaviors indicate that perhaps he wasn’t loved or cared for properly. He and two dog friends were on the run in the woods for about three weeks in October. When he was captured, Billy had a face full of porcupine quills. He came into rescue at Susie Q and was able to be moved to foster care with mentor dogs George and Betty. He watched them and mimicked their behavior and has grown more confident each day. He is quite connected to George, who has demonstrated that it is okay to sleep on the bed, lie on the couch and ensure that the counters are clean. He is most comfortable sleeping near (or on) his furry friends as his pictures show. Billy is hand shy and still fearful of being restrained (leashed) but is getting more tolerant each time. He is doing well with his potty training once he knows what is expected of him. He is not crate trained and because of his history of escaping and running a fenced in yard is a must for this boy. I believe he would do best in a home with a mentor dog to show him how to be a pet. His last requirement is only that someone love him forever and be ready to teach him the rest of his dog skills. His adoption fee is $350. Please go to the website and fill out an application if you are interested in meeting him. www.susieqdogresq.com
