About Billy

Meet Billy, a charming 11-year-old Chihuahua who brings a goofy smile and infectious energy to every moment. Despite being a senior, he’s still full of love and warmth, ready to find a cozy lap to curl up on. Billy loves nothing more than snuggling, sharing affection, and showcasing his delightful wiggle butt. When out for a stroll, he walks beautifully on a leash but needs a harness due to a potentially collapsed trachea. Billy is also sensitive to heat, favoring breezy mornings and indoor relaxation during hot sunny days. He requires regular monitoring for chronic eye issues and takes daily medication for elevated liver enzymes, but he's fully neutered and up to date on all vaccinations and preventatives. Billy is wonderful with children and has truly mastered the art of being a cuddlebug. He’s available for adoption for $250—come meet him and feel the love today!
