BILLY BOB (IOWA)
Meet Billy Bob, a precious 7 month old, 9 pound Yorkie boy being fostered near Des Moines, IA.
Billy Bob is a 7 month old, larger sized Yorkie. This 10lb ball of love enjoys being around people and is a cuddly bear. He adores well behaved children, and would do well in a family setting with kids 10+ years or older with a stay at home-at-home/work-from-home Mom. Billy Bob does well with other dogs as long as they are gentle and playful. A younger dog with similar size and energy would be a great fit!
He'd also would be a perfect fit for an active retired couple that enjoys taking walks.
We learned from Billy Bob's former owner that he loves going camping, and even has his own camping sleeping bag!
Billy Bob's foster family is working with him on housetraining. Current methods include frequent trips outside in a fenced back yard, taking walks to get outside, explore and get exercise, belly bands, and crates while home alone during short durations and at bed time.
Bill Bob will require a physical, secure fenced yard - no wireless fences will be permitted.
He also does not like to be alone by himself for very long periods of time - 1-2 hours would be ok.
The vet has given Billy Bob a clean bill of health and he's fully up to date on vaccines. He is adoption ready after his neutering procedure next week.
The adopter will need to continue to work with Billy Bob on housetraining and basic training. Lots of patience will be required, however foster mom says he's very bright and has lots of potential. Any questions, please email foster mom at [email protected]
