About Billy

Meet Billy! This sweet three-year-old boxer mix is approximately 50 pounds of love. Billy came to the county shelter as a stray, in rough shape and unaccustomed to indoor life. He has come a long way since then, becoming house trained and crate trained. Billy adores playing with other dogs and is also fine with cats. Though he can be a bit jumpy with loud noises, he has a gentle soul and trusts those he considers his people. He enjoys snuggling and short walks, preferring the warmth of a jacket on chilly days rather than long adventures. Due to his sensitive nature, a home with small children may not be ideal; older kids, around 12 and up, would likely be a better match. Billy is spayed, vaccinated, and ready for adoption within 30 miles of Beaverton, Oregon. Take the first step by filling out an application to see if you and Billy are a good fit. Get ready to meet your new best friend!
