About Billy

Billy is a spirited 2-year-old Akita mix with a personality that's just as big as his heart. This smaller-sized guy is not just a lover of humans but also gets along famously with other dogs. Currently undergoing heartworm treatment, his upbeat spirit remains undiminished as he continues to seek out adventures and affection. He needs a forever home that can keep up with his playful nature and provide the exercise and patience he deserves. Billy would thrive in a family with kids over 8 due to his size. A secure 6-foot fence is a must, and it's preferred that his new owners have experience with the breed. If you're on the lookout for a charming and energetic companion, consider bringing Billy into your life. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
