About Billy

Billy is a timid pup searching for a gentle home where he can truly belong. He has a heartbreaking story; found abandoned in a cramped crate, he arrived at the shelter terrified and very underweight. Slowly, but surely, he’s discovering the joys of life—like leisurely walks with volunteers, basking in the sun, and receiving love and treats. Patience will be essential as Billy works through his insecurities, especially when it comes to food and new routines. He really needs a kind, patient home that can help him learn to be a dog. Despite his rocky start, Billy has a sweet nature and loves to cuddle. At 42 lbs, he's known as the “little man” due to his small stature. He's potty trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. He's comfortable around adults of all genders and is fine with other dogs, even playing through the fence with a neighbor's male pitt-terrier. While he is good around children, a home without small kids would suit him best. Billy is incredibly treat motivated and takes them gently. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
