Billie

Our Billie may have not reached the heights of fame and fortune like Billie Eilish, but to us, she’s a superstar.

“Billie is a sweet, friendly, playful and goofy young dog with lots of energy,” staff say. “She’s social, affectionate and loves cuddles, but can be boisterous, vocal and easily overstimulated. She loves to play, explore and be part of the action, but also enjoys being a couch potato and lap dog once she’s settled. She’s best suited to an owner who is home often.”

Billie is still a bit sillie — whoops — silly, and until she gets more training on board, we recommend a household with no elderly people or young kids. She’s not suitable for a place with small animals such as cats, birds and wildlife, although we’d like her to have a canine companion to guide the way and keep her company in her new place. She will need ongoing training.

Please ensure the below information, including the ‘please note’ section, is read in full if you are interested in viewing, meeting or adopting Billie.

If you are interested in a dog, please make a booking to visit the Home where that dog is located. We can’t guarantee that a particular dog will still be available at the time of your visit, as adoptions occur throughout the day. Our team updates the website as quickly as possible.

Your booking is simply an allocated time to view all of the dogs, and it allows us to ensure staff are available should you wish to have a meet and greet with a particular dog.

Please remember that if you are interested in adopting on the day, all household members — including any existing dogs — must attend the appointment. It’s vital that the dog meets everyone and gets along with them, and that the whole household is ready to welcome a new family member.

Please note:
• Rental agreements allowing dogs will be required for adoption into rental properties.
• Before adopting a dog, all members of your household must attend a meet and greet with the dog (including small children and existing dogs).
• Whilst the website is live and updates frequently, there is a chance that when you arrive a dog may already have been adopted by some-one else. Sorry, but we cannot put dogs on hold over the phone. You need to meet them first so that we can ensure a suitable match.
• While our Homes are open, not every dog available for adoption will be onsite and available in person. You will notice some dogs are listed as ‘foster care’. This means that they are offsite with one of our amazing foster carers. If you are interested in this dog, please contact the Home directly to discuss suitability and a possible meet.
