About Billy

Billy is on the lookout for a cozy home! This sweet Chihuahua, around 12 years old and weighing 13 pounds, has a lot of love to give despite his almost complete blindness. He may only see some light and shadows, but he navigates his world with a wagging tail and the sound of your voice. Billy enjoys meeting new people and volunteers at the rescue, showing how friendly he can be. He lives harmoniously with over a dozen dogs but prefers the company of mellow or senior pups. Fast movements can startle him, so a calm environment would be ideal. A blanket is his best friend; he loves to burrow under them and spends his afternoons napping peacefully. Billy's health is solid, with great blood work results and a recent treatment for an ear infection. He will need a dental soon, covered by Vintage Pet Rescue. Neutered and fully vaccinated, Billy is ready for his forever home. If you're looking for a calm companion, Billy might just be the one for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
