Meet Billy 💙 — Your Gentle, Joy-Loving Adventure Buddy
Wherever Billy goes, people say the same thing: “He is the sweetest dog.” And it’s true. Billy is a gentle, quiet soul with a heart full of love and a joyful spark that comes out when it’s time to play.
Billy adores other dogs and especially loves romping around with his foster brother, Jenkins (also adoptable!). When playtime hits, Billy’s signature happy zoomies appear — pure joy in motion. Because he can get a little jumpy when he’s excited, he’d do best in a home with older kids (8+), but he has truly done wonderfully with every adult, child, and dog he’s ever met.
Billy’s story began about four years ago when he was rescued from a kill shelter in North Carolina. Since then, he’s been deeply loved by a senior couple. Sadly, due to mobility challenges, they made the incredibly difficult and selfless decision to find Billy a new home where he can get the attention, exercise, and enrichment he deserves.
In his foster home, Billy has shown what a great companion he is. He’s completely housebroken, non-destructive when left free to roam, and settles nicely at home. Like many dogs who haven’t had formal training, he would benefit from learning a few basic commands and some door manners — and his foster parents are already working with him on these skills.
Billy truly shines outdoors. He lives for fresh air, car rides with his head out the window, and exploring the world one sniff at a time. True to his hound nature, following exciting scent trails is a favorite pastime. He’d be thrilled to join a family who enjoys walks, hikes, or simply spending time outside together.
Billy would do great in most loving homes — especially one that will continue his training, share adventures, and give him the companionship he craves. He has so much love to give and can’t wait to find the family who will call him theirs forever.
💙 If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle dog who will happily walk beside you through life — Billy is ready to meet you. 💙

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
