About Billy

Billy is a lively and friendly Greyhound, born to charm everyone he meets. With his striking black and white coat, he stands out wherever he goes. Billy enjoys walks and playtime, but he does require a bit of training to manage his focus on toys and resources. Because he was returned for resource guarding, it’s essential that his new family respects his boundaries and continues the positive training we’ve started with him. Billy thrives on human companionship, whether it's being involved in your daily activities or simply lounging by your side. He loves the outdoors and joyfully runs around during turnout time. However, he needs a home that doesn’t include children or cats, and he's not suited for apartment living. If you’re looking for a buddy who’s eager to learn and share in life’s adventures, Billy might just be the one for you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
