About Billy Bear ~ 1yo Border Collie(on trial 13/06/20)
Billy Bear is a gorgeous, one year old Border Collie x Staffy. He is a big sook who loooves going for long walks but is also more than happy just lazing in the sun.
After a long day he loves nothing more than cuddles from his favourite humans. He will pop his head on your lap and demand being petted! Billy Bear also loves playing with balls and his favourite game is tug-o-war. You’ll never get bored with him by your side!
Billy Bear currently lives with other dogs who he gets along with just fine. When playing with them he will roll on his back, letting them think they can wrestle him, even though he’s almost twice their size! But he can get a bit overwhelmed by them, so we think Billy would prefer to be an only dog, with all the human attention focused on him!
Billy Bear is very smart, so training him should be easy! He’s also food-motivated so that should help too. He can “sit”, we are working on “stay” and coming when his name is called. Billy doesn’t pull too much when being walked, but he could use a little bit more training. He can also use a doggy door, and he is toilet trained, although being male he likes to mark his territory, so he needs to be reminded of the rules sometimes when going to new places.
Currently Billy Bear sleeps inside and we think he would like a home where he is allowed to sleep inside and is treated as part of the family. Due to Billy’s size and being a bit goofy he could accidentally hurt small children, so a home with children over the age of 6 would be preferred.
Billy Bear is looking for a home where he is taken for long walks and taken along for adventures and being pretty young still, somewhere with someone home most of the time would be ideal for him.
Billy Bear is currently in care in the Newcastle area, NSW. For more information, email Charlotte at charlotte.backhausen@web.de or you can fill out the adoption form online at https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
Billy Bear's adoption fee is $450 and he is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, and microchipped.

Adoption details
(1) The first step is to fill in our online Adoption Questionnaire:
https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
If there is a phone number listed in the dog's profile then you can also phone for more information.
(2) If the questionnaire is approved you can arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. We will ask to see photo ID.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption. More details of our Adoption Procedure on our website: https://tinyurl.com/adoptproc
