Billie Jean is featured in our May Newsletter.
She needs a very special home.
Billie Jean was found walking along the highway in Buellton. Her microchip was registered to Las Vegas, Nevada! Unfortunately, the contact information was no longer valid. Try as they might, no one was able to locate her original family.
Billie Jean is an incredibly intelligent 9 year old spayed female Border Collie. Over her three years at DAWG, she has proven to be extremely loyal and affectionate once you have established a relationship with her. In late 2008 and again in early 2010, she experienced a slipped disk in her lumbar spine. Each time, she responded well to periods of strict exercise restriction and steroid therapy. Both incidents seemed to have been brought on by very high impact exercise after long periods of sedentary behavior. For this reason, it is imperative that Billie Jean receive consistent low impact exercise; such as a leisurely, 30 minute, leash-controlled daily walk. Please do not challenge her with high impact off-leash activity… or with the temptations of the dog park or beach.
Outside of her daily walking routine, she would love to settle in to a restful lifestyle. She would love to hang out with her owner in the home or at the office, in peaceful and restful surroundings. She would be happy as the only pet in the household, absolutely focused upon her owners. She does enjoy the company of small dogs, but usually not cats or with dogs her size or larger.
Billie Jean has had a life filled with challenges, but she has overcome them because she is tough, resourceful, and intelligent. We think that now she yearns for the simple life: a home to call her own, and a human to love.
A thick and solid, but gentle boy. Smart, knows basic commands, well mannered, sweet sociable disposition. Fine family dog.
Active, athletic, smart, always ready to go on an adventure. Good with kids and other dogs and loves to snuggle. Possibly the most tennis ball focused dog we know! An all around great dog for an active family. Enjoys playing with other dogs, including his DAWG buddy Chile. No cats, please.
Sweet gentle boy, good with other polite dogs. Extremely smart and willing to please, he will need a good amount of exercise. Bandit is a very shy fellow, he will need a calm, patient household.
Lucy is a Border Collie-Akita mix that I adopted through DAWG about a month and a half ago. She loves Hendry's Beach, the Jesusita trail and Red Rock. She is a real treat.
