Taunton Animal Shelter's Pet of the Week is Billy, a Lab mix who is about 2 years old.
Billy is a friendly dog that you will love once you get to know him. He needs someone who is willing to give him the time and space he needs to feel safe.
He loves playing with all kinds of toys, but especially stuffed animals.
Billy likes to go for walks and run around in the garden, and is good at commands.
He needs a home without other pets or small children.
