About this Dog
Adoption fee: $700 Meet Billy – The Brilliant, Bumbling Baby Blue Heeler! At just 11–12 weeks old, Billy is already proving himself to be one of the smartest (and silliest!) pups around. Rescued from an overcrowded shelter, this Cattle Dog/Heeler mix wasted no time settling into his foster home with curiosity, confidence, and a knack for cracking everyone up. Billy wakes up early (true to his herding dog roots!) and gets his day started with a potty break and playtime before breakfast. After some zoomies and backyard exploring, he enjoys napping in his crate or one of his many favorite nap spots throughout the house. He spends his days playing with toys, romping with his Boston Terrier foster sisters, and following his people around like a fuzzy little shadow. Billy is a Velcro pup through and through—if you leave the room, he’ll whine softly and wait loyally at the gate. He isn’t a huge cuddler, but he does like a little contact, like resting his paw or side on your foot. He runs hot, so you’ll often find him sprawled on the cool floor instead of snuggled in a bed. This guy is full of puppy energy and playful antics. He’ll happily chase toys, chew on sturdy branches, and entertain himself (and you!) with clumsy leaps, bounces, and the occasional dramatic somersault. He’s currently teething, so supervision and lots of appropriate chew toys are key. Billy is already learning “sit” and responds well to gentle redirection— especially if there’s a treat involved! He’s house-trained, doggy-door savvy, crate-friendly, and impressively calm for his age. He rarely barks and settles quickly after short protest whines. He gets along well with dogs his size and would love a canine sibling who enjoys playing. He’s met kids and did great (no licky face bombs!), but hasn’t been tested with cats. Billy’s dream home? Humans who appreciate a brainy pup with a silly streak and who will continue guiding him with love, patience, and treats. Bonus points if you think tripping over your own paws is adorable— because Billy does it often. Ready for a little genius who will make you laugh every day and love you forever? Billy is ready for you.

Adopt Billy and Receive Billy's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Billy's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Billy's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Billy, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Billy's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Billy was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Billy’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Billy’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Billy’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
