You may not remember or recognize Billie (Dara when we adopted her).  It was in Jan 2009 and she was in such bad shape when you rescued her & her siblings that she had to be shaved right down to her skin. 

We went to meet a number of dogs at your facility that day, but Billie was the first we saw and sat with in your little room upstairs.  She was so scared.  All she could do was crawl on the floor peeing, looking for a place to hide.  We couldn't leave without adopting her. 

She was thought to be poodle/welsh terrier mix and reach approx 50 lbs.  She maxed out @ 25lbs and has medium length wiry terrier-type blackish hair - we didn't know what type of hair to expect.  She is fun, smart and very energetic.  She loves learning new tricks and gets along and plays very well with the cat of the house, Herman.

She is the perfect dog.  She is a great companion and is happiest when outside running or hiking with us on the Gatineau trails.  She never tires out.  She doesn't chew or bark.  She doesn't have a mean bone in her body and gets along great with other dogs and people.  We can take her on any activity we do.  She is a lot of fun and we love her.

P.S.  This is a new trick we just taught her - balancing on an exercise ball.  She makes it look easy in the picture, but it takes a lot of concentration.
