BILLY is a sweet natured, small brindle-and-white staffie-cross, in the care of RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch.

He is a four-year-old, friendly, affectionate boy who loves company and is hoping to go to a new home soon.

Geraldine Haynes, branch trustee, said: "Billy is used to living with older children. He is a real character who enjoys his walks and is good on the lead.

"Billy is housetrained, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped."
