Peg – 6 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Please meet Peg, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, female, approximately 6 years old. She is brindle with white on her paws and she is smallish in size.

Peg is very friendly and cuddly,a real sweetie pie. She has been waiting in kennels for a while now and would love to have her own home with a nice warm bed and a loving family.

Peg has met a couple of dogs she likes but generally prefers the company of her human friends so would require a home where she is the only dog. She does get on well with children.

Peg is microchipped, neutered and fully vaccinated. She is currently kennelled in the Manchester area and prospective homes would be required to travel to this area to meet her after an initial chat and home check.

Bubba – 18 month old male Cross-Breed

Please meet Bubba, an 18 month old dark brindle cross-breed described as follows “there’s almost certainly some Staffie in there, possibly some collie as he has some slight feathering to his tail, sometimes I think I can see a bit of Lab, sometimes mastiff or Boxer – he’s more like a small mastiff”… whatever he is he is a real stunner!

He has a slight limp on one hind leg which has been checked out and it’s a slight deformity to his hip socket, probably congenital – nothing can or needs to be done to it at the moment but he may need anti-inflammatory when he’s older.

When Bubba arrived at Lurcher Link, found as a stray, he was petrified of everything and everybody and had obviously been badly beaten but he has come on in leaps and bounds and is now very friendly and very playful but given his scaredness, he will not be rehomed with any children under the age of 12.

He gets on well with other dogs and walks nicely on a head collar. Bubba is currently in the West Yorkshire area in the care of Lurcher Link.

He has been vaccinated, wormed, microchipped and neutered. If you are interested in finding out more please contact Kaye on 01422 240168 (before 9 pm please) or email kaye@lurcherlink.org

Mikey – 18 month old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Please meet Mikey, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, male, approximately 18 months old. He is black/chocolate with white markings and he is small to medium in size.

Mikey is very friendly, waggy, kissy and bouncy (but not OTT) boy who enjoys a cuddle and tummy tickle from his human friends – and what a great smile he has! He is also a good traveler.

Poor Mikey is getting stressed in kennels and has been chewing his tail which has now had to be amputated. He would love to have a home to call his own where he can relax again and share happy times. We would be looking for a home for young Mikey where he will be the only dog.

He is brindle with white markings, he has a smooth coat and he is medium in size at the moment but is still growing! Titch is very puppyish, a big baby who has the biggest feet which he is prone to tripping over!

He is currently living in a foster home with other dogs and an older child and is great with both. He walks well on the lead and knows how to sit already. He has good manners around food and has been good being left for a short time.

Titch is currently being fostered in the Stockport area and prospective owners will need to be able to travel to this area to meet him. We do not rehome to families where there are children under the age of 7 and a homecheck will be undertaken for prospective new families.

Gretel – 3 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier

This is Gretel and she is a 3 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier. She is white in colour with black spots and she is smallish in size. Gretel is a very friendly, bouncy, waggy girl who is lovely and kissy! She is a firm favourite at the kennels as she is such a sweetheart.

She loves all the people she meets including older children and we think she would make a lovely affectionate and devoted addition to a family. Gretel largely seems to ignore other dogs when she is out and has some doggie friends at kennels but we do feel she would like to be an only dog in a home where she can have all the fuss for herself!
Gretel came into our care very skinny, looking like she had just been used to produce puppies with such a sad look in her eyes – luckily she is safe now and looking for her forever home where she will be loved and cherished!
