Billy is a big love bug with a silly, goofy personality and a heart full of affection!

When he first arrived, he was quite nervous and unsure of new people and surroundings, but he has blossomed beautifully into a loving, playful boy. He absolutely adores attention and will happily shove his head into you for head scratches, leaning in for pets, cuddles, and all the love you’re willing to give. Be prepared—he might even share a little love drool while showing his affection!

While Billy has made wonderful progress, he will continue to need a home that is patient and willing to help him build his confidence. With gentle guidance, reassurance, and consistency, he will thrive and continue to grow into his full, happy, affectionate self. A home committed to helping him feel safe and secure would be perfect for this sweet boy.

Billy also loves to play and knows how to fully engage with his toys. He enjoys tossing, shaking, and chewing them with enthusiasm, so durable toys are best. Enrichment activities, like puzzle toys or games that challenge his mind, are a great way to keep him happy and engaged while reinforcing positive confidence-building experiences.

He would do best in a home with experience caring for larger breeds, where he can have structure and attention. A yard with a higher fence would be ideal, giving him a safe space to relax and enjoy outdoor time while continuing to practice his leash walking. Certain sights and sounds can spook him, so a calm, understanding approach will help him feel secure.

Billy is also on a special diet for allergies.

Full of love, energy, and joy, Billy is a loyal and affectionate companion who will reward a patient family with playful antics, cuddles, and endless affection. With the right home to support him in building confidence, he is ready to become the devoted, loving, and goofy boy his forever family has been waiting for!
