Hi im Billy, I’m a 2 year old Pointer cross, I’m currently living at Danemere Rescue after being returned twice by my previous owner,

My previous family although they loved me very much struggled with my size as a big growing boy and because I can be a little bit unpredictable with other dogs they felt unable to safely handle me when out and about and they made the hard decision to allow Danemere to find me my final forever home.
My handlers at Danemere are training me to walk well on a figure of 8 lead and I have shown them I can be gentle on the lead, they also know that if there is enough distance between me and another dog I don’t take much notice.

I am very nervous of other dogs when they’re close to me which may sometimes look like I’m angry, but I’m not i am just wary, I have had a bad experience and now I struggle to be brave around them, sometimes I am fine but I don’t want to be put in a position where I may be hurt, I need a family who are going to respect my boundaries and accept that I may not ever want to play with other dogs. I love people and I am more than happy with the love and attention I get from people!

Because I am an anxious boy and I struggle being left alone for long periods of time, being in kennels has taught me how to be slightly more independent as the staff cannot be by my side all the time so I still like to bark to get their attention and I am so happy when I see them walking up the path to my kennel, but, as much as I love the staff at Danemere I would really love to find a family who can help build my confidence and who are willing to show me that they will always come back.

I long to know what it’s like to have someone that won’t abandon me when things get difficult or give up on me because I have my quirks, if you do take a chance on me I promise to show you I am a loyal and loving boy who has stolen the hearts of all the staff here, could I steal yours too? I would love for you to come and meet me and show you how much of a good boy I am.
