Are you right for Billie Noodles?
Meet Billie Noodles! This handsome boy is a 3-year-old Lurcher Crossbreed with a big fun personality who is adored by everyone here in the centre. Billie is an absolute goof who loves to play tug, chasing a ball or simply just throwing his favourite teddy around. He's also a clever clogs and loves learning new tricks, figuring out puzzle games or putting his nose to good use. When he's not busy having fun, Billie enjoys long, relaxed sniffy walks and stretching out on the sofa for a well-earned snooze.
Billie can be a little shy when meeting new people, so he'll need multiple meets to build trust at his own pace. Once you're one of his favourite people, you'll have the most wonderful companion who is a big fan of cuddles and bum scratches.
Billie needs to be the only pet in the home as he finds dogs at close proximity difficult to cope with, therefore he will need to be walked in quiet areas away from other dogs. Billie would prefer to live in a quiet area with little dogs around so he can relax fully in his new home. The good news is he loves car rides and is happy to travel for new adventures!
Billie has worked hard on his training and knows plenty of great skills to help him in situations he finds tricky, and he would love someone who could continue to engage his brain and work on his training with him. He's also fully muzzle trained and comfortable wearing his muzzle when out and about and at the vets.
Is Billie Noodles right for you?
Billie is looking for a patient, understanding owner who will take the time to build a strong bond with him and continue the fun training he’s been enjoying with his handlers. He'd love someone who enjoys engaging his brain, playing games and exploring quieter places together.
He’ll need to be the only dog in the home, and his new family will need to understand his reactions to other dogs, keep up his muzzle training and help him build confidence with vet visits.
Billie would suit an adult only home or he could potentially live with dog savvy teens who can read his body language and respect his space.
Billie has all the ingredients to be a fantastic companion: he's clever, playful and full of character. He’ll keep you smiling with his silly antics, and if you’re happy to take things at his pace, you’ll have the best friend in Billie Noodles!

Show detailsIf we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.
Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
