Billy Bones Thorton

My story

🎬 Meet Billy Bones Thorton – The Comeback Kid! 🦴💪 Once written off as just another stray, Billy Bones Thorton is now rewriting his own story—and it’s got all the makings of an unforgettable underdog triumph. He came in on April 27, 2025, barely more than a shadow of himself. At just 5 years old, this sweet soul had seen more struggle than most pups ever should. 🐾 When Billy arrived, he was a heartbreaking bag of bones, fragile and fading fast. It was a close call—touch and go for a while—but this boy wasn’t ready to give up. With every meal, every gentle word, and every bit of care, he began to turn the tide. Now? Billy Bones Thorton is a survivor with spirit. He's put on weight, gained confidence, and discovered the joy of squeaky toys and snuggles. His love for food? Fierce. (Can you blame him?) His love for people? Even fiercer. 💖 This brave boy wants nothing more than to be near you—like, really near you. A couch buddy. A shadow. A loyal best friend. Billy deserves comfort, love, and a family who sees the hero he’s become. ✔️ Neutered ✔️ Heartworm & Lyme negative ✔️ Current on rabies vaccine ✔️ Champion of second chances 📍 Billy Bones Thorton is waiting at: Richland County Dog Shelter Mansfield, OH 📞 Call: 419-774-5892 📧 Request an application: dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov 🦴 He fought hard to find hope—now he just needs someone to believe in his happily ever after.
