More about Billy
🐾 Meet Billy – A Loyal Boy Looking for His Safe Place 🐾
4 years old | Labrador | Male
Billy’s story is a special one. He’s come to us as a private surrender from a loving home, which means we have wonderful insight into who the real Billy is.
This handsome 4-year-old black Lab has come a long way since his rough start. With care and patience, he’s grown into a healthy, happy boy who loves the water, enjoys the company of other dogs, and lives peacefully with a cat (though we’re unsure how he’d go with cats outside the home).
Billy knows a few basic commands and has plenty of energy to burn, though his recall still needs some work. He’s fine with kids he knows but can be uncertain around adults at first. When meeting new people, Billy tends to hang back and bark softly to let you know he’s unsure — but with gentle patience, he soon begins to relax and show his sweet, trusting nature.
Billy is likely to need a couple of meetings to feel super brave about engaging, but we know there are patient people out there who are willing to take a chance on dogs like him. With time and understanding, he’ll show you what a loyal, loving boy he truly is.
Billy will do best in a calm, experienced home with dog-savvy children, where he can take things at his own pace and continue building confidence. He’s happy spending time alone in his kennel and run but dreams of a life indoors — curled up on the couch beside you.
