Tall, dark, and handsome, he has a distinguished touch of grey on his face, and just possibly the perkiest greyhound ears ever. Born in Texas, raced first in Iowa then in West Virginia, Bill is now waiting at the GPI kennel for his forever family to find him.Smart, polite, and eager to please, this absolute sweetheart of a dog has two passions: people and playing. Bill is very affectionate, loves to lean on his human pals, and actually smiles when he's happy (which is usually). He is extremely photogenic; just call his name and he'll flash a dazzling smile and raise those magnificent ears!He loves to run, romp, and chase balls. Bill will even bring a tossed ball back and drop it in your hand or at your feet, which authorities will tell you is not a common greyhound thing! When play time is over Bill is your typical laidback greyhound, happy to lounge by your side while you edit the dozens of photos you will take of him daily. He can live in a home with older dog-savvy kids,but not with little tykes whom he could accidentally knock over with his occasional boisterousness.Bill loves to move and needs a human or family who is dedicated to exercising him every day. If his home doesn't have its own enclosed yard, his humans will need to provide him with nearly daily visits to a Sniff Spot, i.e., an enclosed place where he can kick up his heels off leash and astonish onlookers with his impressive moves.With the right introduction and chemistry Bill might live compatibly with another dog. He takes a particular cotton to the lady dogs and might be especially happy to live with a female greyhound. He cannot live with cats or other little animals, including small dogs.When Bill first arrived at GPI he didn't have the greatest doggy social skills, especially when it came to non-greyhound dogs. He was also a little intense with certain toys. But GPI's trainers have since put Bill through canine charm school teaching him to play it cool around non-greyhound dogs. His etiquette squad also made him realize there will always be plenty of toys in his life from here on out, so he no longer makes a fuss about them.
