Meet Billy!

Meet Billy the Kid, the bandit who will steal your heart. Billy had a rough start to life, born to a backyard breeder who didn’t know what to do with this Shih Tzu/Cattle dog mix. Billy spent his first 7 months going from crate to yard and back into the crate. He didn’t know how to be a dog in a house or use a doggy door. Cuddles were terrifying to him. However, over the last month he has blossomed and is ready for his own family. The cattle dog makes for a smart boy, who learned to use the doggy door, walk on a leash, and beg for ice cubes the second he hears the freezer open. The Shih Tzu makes for dog who’s happy to chill near you or on you, be brushed and gaze at you adoringly. Billy is sadly, still not fond of men or strangers, but will warm up to a kind woman in 24 hours or less (just ask our dog sitter). Billy has learned that the man of the house can be okay and will come up to him to allow touching and some gentle petting. Billy has no problem sharing the bed with the man and the mommy, because you know, bed space is bed space. Billy does sleep in a crate an is crate trained, but is unhappy in the crate if he knows the humans are around and he can’t see them. The right home for Billy will have another playful dog (he’s never been an only dog) and kind woman, looking for puppy love, gentle kisses, and an adorable shadow. That home can have men if they are gentle and patient and don’t expect him to jump into their lap and love him right away. Billy is about 8 months old, up to date on his vaccines, microchipped and neutered. Are you looking for love? Are you patient and kind? If so Billy may be the kid for you.
