BILLIE UPDATE – SUCCESSFULLY ADOPTED
6-year-old Bull Mastiff x “Billie” could melt your heart with one gaze. Simultaneously, and due to her early-life and unknown trauma, she could be inexplicably triggered by someone or something and respond with alarming fear-aggression. She predominantly showed fear of men.
Nevertheless, I had a compelling compulsion/intuition to introduce her to James (and partner Kim) who were visiting the Northern Rivers from Sydney.
At her introduction, Billie jumped out of the back of the wagon, ran straight over to James, leant against his legs and looked up at his face with adulation!! Billie’s previous owners’ jaws dropped in disbelief and wonderment.
By the end of a long walk on the beach, James was equally enamoured of Billie.
A few days later James arrived in his travelling van to pick up Billie for a trial adoption. Without hesitation, Billie jumped into the driver’s seat and unmistakably indicated that she was ready to head off with her favourite new man on a wonderful new adventure.
James has since experienced how deeply troubled Billie can be, but decided he would do everything in his power to provide her with a loving and charmed life – to this end he purchased the softest, safest muzzle for Billie, so he could relax with her in situations that may trigger her fear-aggression.
James and Kim have also dedicated themselves to helping Billie with ongoing training and desensitising strategies. Unending thanks to James & Kim, for giving this very troubled, but adorable girl, a bright future 🙏💖🙏 🐚
Beautiful Billie is a desexed female 6-year-old Bull Mastiff x Kelpie.
Billie has the sweetest, most loving nature once she knows and trusts you. She has obviously been mistreated early on in her life and now suffers from some fear-aggression. This manifests around the boundaries of her home with both people and other dogs. On the beach however, she is an angel, enjoying the exercise, socialising well with other dogs and only being vigilant with strangers.
She does need daily exercise, but once that’s satiated, Billie is happy to be a couch potato at home.
Billie will bond quickly with women and will warm eventually to gentle men. She will need new companions who are experienced with larger breed dogs as she will need ongoing training to desensitise her fear-aggression.
She will be loyal, protective and good with children.
If you would like to meet this darling girl, please phone Shell on 0458461935.
