Billy - Mastiff Dog

Shelter: BC SPCA - Maple Ridge Branch Animal ID: 510417 Birthdate: March 13, 2019 - Young Adult Spayed/Neutered: No Male Please note due to the current COVID-19 pandemic our adoption process has changed. Please visit our website https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/how-to-adopt/ for more information. All adoptions are by appointment only once we have received an application. ***Due to the high number of Applications we receive for our animals, we will only be contacting potential adopters to further review their application*** Billy is a very large boy that is looking for a very special home! His new guardians will need to be experienced, active, and very patient! Billy is currently undergoing some ongoing veterinary care, and will need to go to a home that is able to continue following up with his vet, and giving him his daily medications. Billy has had some consistent digestive issues throughout his life, and will need to stick to a special diet and feeding plan to help him gain some weight. Billy lived with a young child, and did very well with her! However, he is also still very puppy like, and tends to be very jumpy and mouthy. If there are any children in Billy's new home, he will need proper supervision, as well as continued obedience training. Billy also requires a home with no other animals, as he does not react well to them. He would greatly benefit from some training on proper leash manners, as he can pull hard when he gets excited! Overall, Billy is a very loving boy that adores his toys, cuddles, and being around his people! He is not used to being left alone for long periods of time, so his new home will need to work with him on slow departure exercises to help ease his separation anxiety.
