Billie Labrador Retriever & Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Cedar Rapids, IA

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Miss Billie is a small but mighty little girl looking for her forever home! Billie is just around 6 years old and full of energy. She loves toys and to run around playing in the yard. She is also eager to learn and can be motivated by treats so training comes easily to her. She knows most basic commands but gets super excited easily and you will notice her butt wiggles more than her tail! New things can be a little scary to Billie, she is a little skittish around new, loud noises but will recover quickly with some reassurance from her human buddy. Billie would prefer to live in a home with no young children as they can be quite unpredictable to her and that's frightening. She seems to do well with other dogs and has even gone on buddy walks with some of her friends at the adoption center. She is best paired with dogs that have calm and laid back energy, she doesn't appreciate dogs that invade her space or get in her face without a proper introduction. We have made a short introduction of cats to Billie and we'll be darned if she wasn't a little scared! She had very reserved body language and really wasn't sure what to think of them! Billie does take daily prescription meds currently, these will need to be continued under the care of a veterinarian.

Billie's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccines, and preventatives. Also included is a free basic obedience training course at Cedar Run in Hiawatha. Last Hope requires all animals be kept as indoor only pets and that adopters have a history of keeping their pets altered and up to date on vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting Billie, please fill out an adoption application for consideration on our website, adopthope.org. The adoption process includes a home ownership check, background check, and vet history check.
