Mindy – 2-3 year old female Lurcher
Mindy is a 2 – 3 year old brindle Lurcher girly, with a bit of Bull terrier in her. She is a happy friendly girl who loves people, especially children.
Mindy would probably be best as an only dog or living with a mellow dog, as she can be a bit bossy. She is good with dogs she meets when out on walks though, and walks nicely too. Mindy is currently based in Hertfordshire, but can travel to meet potential adopters.
Mindy is crate trained and can be left crated for a few hours after a good walk. She is active and playful when something is going on, but also very chilled around the house.Mindy has been here with us in foster for nearly 6 months now,and we don’t understand why there’s been so little interest in her? She is a lovely,lovely girl. Although it says she’d be best as an only dog, she is friendly with dogs she meets whilst out walking, and will play with them when she’s on her extending lead. At home she does guard food, treats ONLY from other dogs, NOT from people at all. She’s living here with 4 other dogs,including a puppy we have just got, and plays all the time.
If your after a fun dog, who will give you loads of love and affection, Mindy could be the girl for you.
20Oct2010 | Lurcher Link | READ MOREScooby – 2 year old male Whippet cross Lurcher
Scooby is a young 2 year old Whippet cross Lurcher who was taken on by his current owner from a mixed Rescue. She has never had a Lurcher type before and has found Scooby’s exhuberance and tendancy to pull on the lead just too much for her to handle. Scooby is more Staffordshire Bull Terrier than Lurcher but we’re not 100% sure. He is very well house-trained and great with children, he could possibly live with a laid back female dog but needs to be in a cat free home. She has tried her hardest for the past few months, but thinks that Scooby should be with a younger couple and he has been given until Thursday to find a home by his current owner so we are desperately seeking a new home for him.
He is neutered, vaccinated and just looking for some guidance, a good pack leader. HELP HIM PLEASE. Please telephone 07940 555 574 or email jenny@southernlurcherrescue.org.uk or telephone to find out more.
12Oct2010 | Lurcher Link | READ MORERoss – 6-7 year old male Lurcher
Please meet Ross, a 6-7 year old Lurcher boy, who is large in size (approx 27/28″ tall) and he is black and tan in colour. It is thought he could have some Saluki in his mix. Poor Ross was abandoned at the pound and faced being put to sleep but was lucky enough to find a rescue space at the last minute. He was quite tired and thin when he came into foster but has settled very quickly into a home environment and is a lovely lad.
He is currently living with two other lurchers who he gets along with fine and is starting to show his playful side. He is also living with cats – he seems a little curious as if he has never been up close to one before and is learning to ignore these. He has even been good with the ponies he has met. Ross is housetrained and walks well on the lead. He is good in the house, enjoying a sprawl out on the sofa or dog beds and chilling in between coming to see you for a little fuss.
Ross is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated and is currently in a foster home in West Yorkshire.

Wilfee is a 3 – 4 year old male Lurcher. He’s a lovely laid back,yet playful boy. Gets on well with other dogs,and is being fostered at the moment with 3 other dogs. He’s very playful with my bitch ecspecially.
He’s a confident dog, has been put into many different situations and enviroments since I’ve had him, and has been unconcerned in all of them. Wilfee has been friendly and social to all people he’s met whilst here, including my niece who is 12.
He looks as though he may chase cats,but hasn’t been cat tested,and ignores my ferrets! I think Wilfee would be suited to many different types of family/home.He’s happy to join in and be a bit mad, or to go and chill after a nice walk. Based in Yorkshire.
