My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Billy is likely the most misunderstood and overlooked dog in all of the shelter .

Because he doesn't like other dogs we hear the word "aggressive " thrown around as if it applies to him or others like him .

It couldn't be further from the truth .

Billy never met a stranger. He's affectionate and loving and ever so happy .

He bounces when he walks just bubbling over at the thought of being with a human . He can't contain his excitement .

He is completely overjoyed to be spending time with someone, playing fetch or frisbee, running under the sprinkler in the summer or just hanging in the gazebo .

He is , however, aware of other dogs and realizes that they make him feel uncomfortable and he doesn't want them in his immediate space .

So he would need to be the only dog in a home setting but he would give you all of the attention and love that a thousand dogs could bring .

Billy has been with us since September-of 2021 . He weighs 70 pounds and he's 4 1/2 years old .

He smiles for miles and it's unfair and unfortunate that he and his companions that don't like other dogs /cats are stigmatized and living in kennels because they would rather be homebodies than go to the dog park.

As a human, I choose a quiet , private life free from the stress of public environments which make me uncomfortable.

It's a good thing I don't have to live in a cage because of my choices.

Billy's adoption fee has been lovingly paid by someone who thinks he's extra special .

Please take a chance on this boy , he's larger than life and is so well loved by our staff.
