Not in the first video, was the painful yelp/whine he let out before he flopped over (2nd pic) whimpering as he refused to walk back to the shelter kennel.
I lift heavy so I can save dogs, and in this moment I needed to do both at the same time.
As I carried him I couldnโt fight the tears as he tucked his large boxy head into my neck against my shoulder. And putting him back in that cement kennel definitely didnโt make it any easier.
The first adopter didnโt work out because the resident dogs were unfixed, and unfortunately because of his size and gender they may have felt overly protective of their space and family, him without a safe space wasnโt the right mix.
This last home fell through because of a horse (not sure on the notes) but I was told he was fine with their chickens. I brought up how I noticed improvement on his leash skills to the staff after leashing him up, and they let me know the previous attempt adopter worked his leash handling a ton over the weekend they tried to make it work.
Even though Billiard has been seen at plenty events kissing and being friendly with several other dogs, because of the adoptive notes Billiard is consider selective, which means he may need a home either without other animals or with an experienced handler that actually understands giving dogs time for decompression (their own safe space, no immediate introductions, crate and rotate) time and consistent boundaries. These are experienced responsible dog ownership basics.
This post was shared through Different Breed Solutions Rescue shelter support program to connect Billiard to the right adoptive or fostering home to keep him safe, healthy, and happy.
