About Billy
7-year old Billy is looking for some super special people to give him the forever home a handsome gentleman deserves.
Billy’s foster carers describe him as the perfect dog inside the home. He is a gentle and respectful family member with great house manners. Billy is happiest chilling on the couch with his humans or in his comfy bed. He also loves meeting new people – after all, humans are vessels for more pats!
Billy takes his greyhound laziness very seriously. He won’t even get up for breakfast until he has to, and once napped through a magpie dive-bombing him in the yard. He does enjoy the occasional ‘zoomie’ or getting a little crazy with his stuffed monkey… but follows this up with another nap.
While Billy would fit in easily to most people’s homelife, he is reactive to other dogs. With no other dogs around, Billy walks well on leash and enjoys being outside. However, 7 years in the racing industry left Billy with no exposure to other breeds or socialisation and this is an on-going process. Billy needs his new humans to be strong and confident and happy to continue with the training plan he’s begun (positive reinforcement/rewards based). Amazing Greys is on hand to help with this.
Being a lazy hound, Billy doesn’t need a lot of space in a new home and could happily live in a smaller dwelling. However, any apartment homes should consider whether there are lots of dogs in the complex and how dog-busy the local streets are. A home with some yard space where one walk per day would be ideal. Billy would be okay with FT workers, provided the time spent home alone was built up gradually.
If you think you can give Billy the home he requires to live his best life please contact us at adopt@amazinggreys.com.au.
Before enquiring please consider:
a) What your work/social life will look like as things reach a ‘Covid-normal’
b) The time and financial commitments of adopting a forever hound
