Billi's Story:

Billi was rescued from a public shelter in Romania.

These shelters are severely over capacity and small dogs like Billi are the most likely to be attacked, a lot of dogs don't survive these attacks and so Billi was such a lucky boy to get out.

Upon arriving at Oakwood, we noticed Billi was not fully weight bearing on his BL leg. We put him on pain meds and kennels rest but when this wasn't working, we sent him straight from X-rays.

Unfortunately, Billi has several problems with his legs that are going to require surgical intervention.

His back right leg: He has luxating patella grade 2

His left leg: He has luxating patella grade 3/4. He also has an old break that has healed completely abnormally in this leg, you can feel the bone almost protruding through his skin, even with the gentlest touch.

After x-rays and many discussions with different specialists, it was decided that the best plan of action was to amputate the left hind leg. Billi has now had this surgery and is in recovery. He is doing amazingly well and seems so much happier without the leg.

Bio:

With other dogs:

Billi has shown to do well with all the dogs that we have mixed him with so far. He does get a little too excited with the girls and will try to hump them. If they don't allow it, he will stand and bark at them :/

Due to Billi being in recovery from surgery, we'd be looking for a home as an only dog or with calm dogs that would know to respect his space.

With cats:

Billi was very gently with the cat upon testing, he showed no prey drive.
