Twinkle-toes Bill Bailey is ready to bound-off to his new abode

Three-year-old Bill Bailey is currently being cared for at Dogs Trust Ballymena rehoming centre where he loves nothing more than jumping and running around in the exercise areas. Despite being a very loving boy who loves human company, he is yet to attract any interest.

Conor O’Kane, Manager at Dogs Trust Ballymena said: “Bill Bailey has been in our care for over a month now and we are surprised by the lack of interest in him. He is a real sweetheart who is playful and fun with a bright personality. He enjoys meeting new people and after his favourite pastime of playing with toys, he likes a snuggle and snooze.

“Although he is sociable with people, he isn’t so keen on other dogs so Bill Bailey requires to be the only pet in his new home. A home in a peaceful area with a large garden where he can play would be perfect. We are looking for understanding and patient owners who will build a strong bond with him before he goes to his forever home.

“To anyone currently looking for a loving, energetic and playful dog who has twinkle-toes, we hope they will consider Bill Bailey.” n To apply to rehome Bill Bailey click here: https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/lurcher/1263691

Lurchers were the third most popular breed rehomed by Dogs Trust last year with 527 finding loving new homes.

Bill Bailey comfortably wears a muzzle when out and about in public, and this would be required when he is adopted. It is preferred that he is rehomed to an adult only home, however he could potentially be rehomed with children aged 14 and over.
