Billie Bean needs a home
Billie is approximately 8 years old. She is a mixed breed with a Brindle coat. Billie is house trained and very obedient to her human and their commands. She tends to have a jealous bone so she would thrive best with a human who has no other animals and is willing to take the time to build a connection with Billie. Her human should be patient and have experience as a dog owner.
Billie is overly affectionate at times, finding her favorite spot to be right on her humans lap or as close as she is allowed. She showers her human with kisses and expect the same affection in return. Billie LOVES her tennis balls and will chase them as long as her human is willing to throw the ball. (TIP: keep 2 balls on hand as she will not relinquish one unless you offer another) It is with a heavy heart that i offer my girl up to be rehomed. She is the best companion a single woman could ask for. Fiercely protective and loyal.
Backstory: Billie has been my younger sisters dog since she was a pup. 6 months ago my sisters life choices put her in a position where she can no longer care for Billie. I took Billie in hoping to make it work. I have my own female Pit and neither her nor Billie will bend the knee to the other. 2 alpha females in one house makes for one stressful living situation. Billie is a special girl who requires an exceptional human to love and care for her.
