My story

Billy is a wiley, spunky, affectionate 1.5 year old fluffy German Shepherd mix who loves playing and cuddling! This boy has lots of energy and is very intelligent! Billy weighs about 55lbs and is not expected to get bigger. Billy was picked up as a stray by animal control and taken to our local high kill shelter where he eventually landed on the euthanasia list due to lack of space. At the shelter, Bill was a terrified, anxious boy who was hesitant to trust any humans (understandably). Once we pulled him and got him home, though, he completely transformed! He is a belly-in-the-air type of guy, as you can see, and he is gaining confidence every day! Billy is now a happy, carefree dude just looking for his next adventure! Billy instantly loves every person and dog he meets. He has never met a stranger and is always up for making a new friend! He loves running around the yard and playing with toys and other dogs, but when it's time to come inside he's content to cuddle up next to you for comfort and warmth! Billy is pretty equally human and dog centered and is very loyal to both. Once he meets his lifelong partner, there's no looking back for Billy! Likely having had no prior training before coming to us, Billy sometimes does not know his own size and strength so he can be a bit rambunctious at times, especially when first being let outside when you come home. He will need some work learning manners, but he seems to pick up on correct behaviors if he sees other dogs doing them first. That being said, he would love to have a doggy sibling to show him the ropes and keep him in line in his new home! He seems to thrive off of having another pup around who can match his unfiltered energy, so a dog with a similar personality and energy level to him is preferred. Billy is crate and potty trained, good with dogs and people of all kinds, and walks fairly well on a leash. Billy is located in Houston TX but can be transported to most US states for adoption.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Billy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
