An abandoned Staffie who took a starring role in an Omaze million pound house campaign is looking for an owner.

Billy ended up at animal welfare charity the RSPCA’s Finsbury Park hospital after he was found abandoned in Camden in February this year.

The nine-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier had an upset stomach, required dental work and needs ongoing pain medication for his mobility.

The abandoned dog was transferred to RSPCA Southridge in Potters Bar in April – and is still searching for a permanent home.

Anna White, manager at RSPCA Southridge, said: “Billy has such a sweet nature. He was sadly abandoned and handed into our London hospital earlier in the year.

“You could tell from the hospital notes just how much they loved him there and we feel the same. Billy just adores people and loves fuss.”

Billy recently starred in Omaze’s Somerset charity house draw alongside actress and RSPCA Ambassador Joanna Page.

Draw entrants are in with a chance to win a £3 million house, as well as £100,000 in cash, if they enter by Boxing Day.

The draw will raise money for the RSPCA so the charity can continue to help rescue animals like Billy.

Anna added: “He was such a star at the Omaze shoot and I’m told that everyone loved him there too.

“We really hope his 15 minutes of fame will help find him the living home he so deserves. 

“We think he needs a home where his owners will be around most of the time as he loves company so much.

“Billy is a playful dog and needs his own secure garden where he can run about with his toys as much as he likes.

“He is a fab walking buddy who walks lovely on his lead and he's a big fan of food, treats and chews.”

Anna said that little is known about Billy’s background and the kind of home he lived in before because he was “so callously dumped”.

The charity believes Billy may be able to live with another dog, pending successful introductions, but that he will need an adult-only home.

Dermot Murphy, RSPCA inspectorate commissioner, said: “As many of us prepare for a cosy Christmas with our loved ones and our much-loved pets, there are sadly thousands of animals facing a bleaker reality.

“The RSPCA needs your help more than ever to help animals because animal neglect and abandonment are reaching a three-year high this festive season.”
