About Billy

Billy is a timid pup in search of a warm, loving home. His journey hasn’t been easy; found in a cramped crate after weeks of abandonment, he arrived at the shelter emaciated and frightened. Now, he’s learning to enjoy the little things — like walks, sunshine, and of course, treats. However, he needs a patient owner who understands his background and can offer plenty of encouragement along the way. While he may be cautious, Billy is eager to trust and show affection. Known as “little man,” this small-statured 42-pound sweetheart loves to cuddle and is very gentle when it comes to treats. He has a calm disposition around adults and gets along well with other dogs, enjoying playtime even through a fence with a neighbor's dog. Billy is house trained and crate trained, and he walks like a champ on a leash. He would do best in a home without small children, as he thrives in a relaxed environment. A patient and understanding owner will give him the grace he needs to flourish as he learns to be a dog. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
