Profile: Billy Jean is one of our 40 plus Katrina dogs. Like so many of the dogs from this disaster, they all have their unbelievable stories. Billy Jean was a part of the "Lamar Dixon" group. This was the location in Louisiana where the majority of all the Pit Bulls were kept: approx. 5000 in total. As the rescue efforts went on for weeks and into months, people came and picked out the dogs they wanted to save. Animal shelters and dog rescue organizations joined in. As the animal rescue efforts were winding down, the final group of the Lamar Dixon dogs remained unwanted. But what's really sad, is that we know Billy Jean had a nice owner. You can just tell by the way she is. Though our efforts to find her family were unsuccessful, we are hoping that finding a new family will not be in vain.

*Billy Jean has some skin allergies, she is on a special type of dog food that keeps her skin great!
