If you adopt Billy (or any of our dogs), you will be entitled to receive FREE behavioural support from our qualified team of behaviourists for any issues you might need help with during his lifetime.

About Billy

Billy is a medium-sized lurcher boy of 4-years old, looking for a new home due to a change of circumstances at home. He’s not quite as big as he looks in photos! Billy has been a much loved family member, and his dad has made the very difficult decision to let Billy go, with his best interests at heart. Billy has always lived in a home environment and has been well-socialized and trained. Billy is a real teddy bear – he has previously lived with very young children and enjoyed their company, so would ideally prefer to join a family with kids. He has also lived with dogs previously and would enjoy doing so again (preferably a playful female dog!), although he could be the only dog providing he had plenty of human attention. Billy is an active dog who loves his walks and can run off-lead in safe areas – as long as there are no cats or squirrels about! Billy can be left alone for a few hours, but does not enjoy spending too much time alone (and this would need to be built up again gradually in the new home). Billy is a really great dog, and his new family will be very lucky to have him!

Homing Needs

• Would like to live with children (is used to very young kids).
• Would prefer to live with another dog, but not essential as long as he has plenty of human company.
• Would prefer a rural home.
• Can be left for a few hours, but prefers to have company.
• Needs a decent amount of exercise.
