About Billy

Meet Billy, your gentle and joy-loving adventure buddy! Billy is a sweet and quiet soul with a big heart, shining brightest when it’s playtime. Known for his happy zoomies, he adores other dogs, people, and even gets along well with cats! A home with older kids (8+) is ideal for him, as he gets a bit jumpy when excited. Billy is a true hound at heart and, while he loves to follow his nose, he excels as a house pet. He’s completely housebroken and very well-mannered when free to roam. Although he hasn't had formal training, his foster family is helping him learn some basic commands. Outdoors, he is happiest—breathing in fresh air, going for car rides with his head out the window, and exploring every scent trail. A fenced yard is a great playground for him, but he should always be supervised. With the right family that enjoys outdoor activities, Billy will flourish. This lovable companion is ready to share his adventures and love with a forever home. If you’re seeking a sweet, gentle family dog to walk beside you, Billy may just be your perfect match!
