About Billy The Kid

Meet Billy The Kid! This strong guy has a gentle heart and a personality to match. He came to us after his previous owner had to surrender him, unable to provide the care he needs. Billy is a big fan of meeting people, wagging his tail with pure joy in their presence. However, he’s a strong dog, so he'll do best with someone who has the physical strength to handle him. It’s important to note that Billy is not compatible with cats, as he tends to chase them. While we aren't certain about his experience with kids, he’s likely a perfect fit for active adults or older children who can enjoy his playful side. Billy enjoys his dog pals but is selective about his friends, playing gently in the yard. He’s a bundle of muscle weighing around 70 pounds and is ready to bring joy to the right home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
