Laila - 1 year old female Saluki cross Lurcher
We’ve decided to call her Laila but obviously she doesn’t respond to it yet, she a female Saluki cross Lurcher aged around 1 year old, possibly a bit younger. She’s about 23/24 inches to the shoulder and a little underweight at the moment but is eating well. She has been very good with other dogs, I think she would really benefit from a confident dog to look after her.
She loves playing with both dogs and bitches and seems happy with various sizes. Another Lurcher or long legged pal to race with is probably her preferred choice! She has been brilliant with my two cats, one of whom is very confident, the other much more shy. She has ignored them both only once giving a little growl to the confident one but I think he was sniffing at her food at the time so that’s fair enough. I’m obviously not leaving them alone together at the moment and would recommend caution to any new owner but I feel happy to say she could live with a cat.
She has not met any children properly but due to her timid nature and the fact she’s easily spooked I would recommend no children. I know plenty of kids learn to be quiet around dogs but their friends may not be! She doesn’t snap in fear or anything but then we’ve never pushed her. She either freezes and shuts down or bolts so caution recommended around doors!
She is generally good on the lead but bounces when wants to play and could be strong when she gets her confidence. An older/frail person could be pulled over. She has been totally clean in the house (we’ve given her lots of opportunities to go out thoughout the day) and has gone all through the night. She does bark at unknown noises but is otherwise quiet.
Like all Lurchers she considers sofas and beds to be her birthright but is learning “off” for when we want to squeeze on/go to bed.In short she’s a very sweet little girl with a really beautiful nature that anyone would be proud to take home. Every walk so far, someone has complimented her as she is very pretty.
She will need a quiet gentle person who is willing to give her all the time she needs to settle. she does get scared in a new situation but quickly warms to it if patient. We try to be bright and breezy and not give her a chance to worry but if she does then she needs just a minute or two to readjust then she’s fine.

Lion (was called Sandy) is a Saluki cross Collie aged approximately 9 months old when he came in but has been renamed because he has a sort of mane from his shoulder, neck and ear hair. He is about 25 inches - he prances elegantly like a Saluki. He is very enthusiastic about life and wants to please you most of all.
He had good manners, on and off the lead and travels well. He needs to be castrated but has been wormed and vaccinated. He is house-trained and eats well. Lion doesn’t get on the furniture like the other dogs, but likes a soft rug and a warm fire! He is a kind and affectionate boy, who should do well in agility, or obedience.
Puppy classes would be a good idea to finish his socialisation and teach him even better manners - he will love it! He is friends with the cat, but can try and get too friendly, at which point our rather experienced cat tells him off. While he’s fine with cats who know dogs, it may not be a good idea to put him with young cats who will run away. Other than that, a very nice dog who will be a wonderful addition to any home!

Ribble is a 6 month old male rough coated we think Bedlington Terrier cross, he stands at just 18 inches to the shoulder at the moment but still has some growing to do. Poor little Ribble was caught living wild with four siblings in a Lancashire wood after being dumped as a litter.
He likes poeple and follows you round as you do household chores, but sadly poor Ribble fears the touch of a human we feel that this young lad has never felt the pleasure of a gentle stroke or cuddle or what it is like to be kissed and loved. Ribble just wants to run away but slowly we will teach him the pleasure of being stroked and win his trust he is a bright little lad.
We hope that with a patient home that will take things slowly with him that he will soon come round he has already learnt that his foster mommy keeps doggy sweets in her pockets and that if he come to her he gets one of these lovely sweeties. We would like Ribble to go to a home with another dog who will help show him that humans can be loving and that he can trust us.

Charlie is a 7 month old male Collie cross Spaniel. He is vaccinated, neutered and housetrained. He needs a bit of guidence with walking on lead. He is good with other dogs, children (6+) and just sits and watches when the neighbours cat comes around to pinch his food!
Charlie is a gorgeous dog, and is very calm in the house. He has been a much loved family pet but has grown too big for them. Charlie needs to find a new home where he will be loved as much as he is now. His family are really upset but believe it will be the best for Charlie to get a bigger garden to play in.

These are three out of a litter of five Lurcher Cross puppies. Two are smooth-haired, the other three are rough-haired and are aged approximately 5 months old. Initially unsocialised in every way they are full of life, responding well to training and really deserve to be in a home situation.
We care for our dogs well, but kennel life is never the same as being part of a loving home.
