UPDATE ADOPTED!!!Cobden IL - 13 year old beagle abandoned by owners, dumped in shelter and owners told - just shoot him we don't want him

*TRANSPORT FREE TO ANYWHERE** Btw, if you all see or hear of abuse or killing in IL and you know who the offender is let me know (ucac2011@yahoo.com), as I am a humane investigator -- and I take this job real real seriously. Poor Billy is a 13 yr old beagle basset mix. His owner sold their home and moved away and promised buyer of property he would be back for the dog.... after not returning he told the owner of property he wasn't coming back and suggested he just shoot Billy. He was surrendered by owner of the property and needs a good home or rescue for retirement in his golden years. Very sweet fella! We have noticed a few tumors on him and he is not deaf but does seem hard of hearing.
