meets new people. However, with patience and kindness, his true personality shines through — a sweet, affectionate dog who forms deep bonds with those he learns to trust. Taking things slowly with Billy is key, and once he feels safe, he becomes a real sweetheart. Billy loves his soft toys and enjoys entertaining himself, and when he’s feeling confident, his joyful zoomies in the field are a lovely sight to see. On walks, he stays close, walking beautifully around your ankles, and he has a good recall, showing how responsive and curious he is as his confidence grows. He is generally good with other dogs and is happy to walk alongside them, though he can be uncomfortable if they get into his personal space. For this reason, calm dog interactions and respectful boundaries suit him best. Billy would need a quiet, understanding home with older (if any) children and adopters who are willing to give him time to settle at his own pace. He is slowly but surely coming out of his shell, revealing a loving and gentle companion who will reward patience with endless affection.

Buddy has now been in a foster home for a few months. His foster parents report “Buddy is an affectionate loving Lurcher and puts people at ease with his playful nature. Whether he’s lounging in a sunny spot or trotting alongside his favourite humans on a walk, he brings warmth and joy wherever he goes. Loving cuddles, soft blankets and playing with his toys in the garden, he’ll become part of the family very quickly.”When Buddy first came in to us, he was very nervous and distrusting of humans. Over time, Buddy has become a very friendly and playful boy. He very much enjoys his one-to-one time and is learning how to show affection in his own special way!He loves nothing more than a speedy sprint around our field and will happily play fetch with a football or tennis ball until he is tired out. Treats are also a favourite of his.Buddy is good and attentive when out on a walk and walks nicely on a lead. Owing to his lack of socialisation when younger, he can be a bit vocal when he sees other dogs out on a walk, but with further input and more socialisation this can be addressed.As a Lurcher, Buddy has a very strong prey drive and is interested by small wildlife when out walking and small pets in the house. Therefore, Buddy would be suited to a house where he is the only dog without other pets or animals.He loves nothing more than a speedy sprint around our field and will happily play fetch with a football or tennis ball until he is tired out.
