About me
Hi, I’m Billy. ❤️
I might not have had the easiest start in life, but that hasn’t stopped me from being one of the loveliest boys you could ever meet. I’m a gentle, affectionate soul with a heart full of love — and all I really want is someone to finally give me the loving home I’ve been waiting for.
For some reason, people keep overlooking me. Maybe it’s because I’m a certain breed, or perhaps my lovely grey face makes people think I’m past my best. But I don’t understand it – because underneath all that grey, I’ve still got so much love, cuddles and zoomies to give! I’m hoping that someone will look past my appearance and see me for the sweet boy I really am.
The staff here don’t know too much about my past, so I’ll need someone who understands that I’m starting a new chapter and may need a little help learning the ropes. In particular, I’ll need some support with my house training. I’m willing to learn, though, especially if you’re willing to be patient with me.
I’d potentially be able to live with another dog of a similar size and temperament, following a successful introduction here at the centre. Alternatively, I’d love to have some doggy walking friends to meet out and about. I’m particularly looking forward to finding a dog I can have a good old zoom around with! 🐾
I’m a sighthound, though, so no other animals in the home please – those instincts are still very much there!
A secure garden with fencing of at least 6ft is essential for me, where I can safely potter around and enjoy some outdoor time.
I can live with children aged 11+, as I’m a gentle soul. I do need my alone time to be built up very gradually, though. I haven’t had enough kind and dependable people in my life yet, so naturally I want to stay close to the people who make me feel safe. With time, patience and understanding, I can learn that being left alone doesn’t mean I’ve been forgotten — my people will go out, and my people will come back.
All I’m asking for is someone who will give me the chance I’ve been waiting for.
If you think I could be the missing piece in your family, I’d love to meet you. Come and say hello – I can’t wait to lean in for a cuddle and show you just how special I am.
Love,
Billy 🐾 xx
