Wilfee – 3-4 year old male Lurcher
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.
12Mar2010 | Lurcher Link | READ MOREScamp – 9 month old male Lurcher
Scamp is a handsome 9 month old Lurcher lad who was surrendered to Gap by his owner. He is a very sweet lad, typical lurcher puppy who likes a game. He is good with other dogs, good with cats and children, house trained, walks well on lead, travels well and is good off lead.
Scamp has separation anxiety and is destructive when left alone however Scamp was an only dog and we feel that this is probably the cause of the problem. He has moved today into foster today with 5 other dogs and cats and loves being with them. We are hoping that over the next few days as he settles down we can leave him in their company and that the upset will rectify.
Scamp will need a home with at least one other dog as company, he would also benefit from having someone at home to help him get use to being left. He is in a foster home in Staffordshire.
Scamp is vaccinated, treated for parasites, microchipped and will shortly be neutered.

Sylvester is a 2-3 year old Collie cross Saluki who came into our care from a stray pound environment. He is currently in a foster home with a male lurcher and an older terrier cross both of whom he gets on well with. Sylvester has proved so far to be good with all other dogs he has met. He is however not cat friendly.
Sylvester has quickly picked up housetraining and has been fine to be left in the company of the other dogs when his carers are out and about. He travels well and walks well on the lead. Sylvester is going to be a fabulous all round dog, he loves to have a loon about and stretch his legs but will definitely need a home with the patience to put into place his recall work due to having the saluki gene.
Sylvester is vaccinated, kennel cough vaccinated, treated for parasites, microchipped and neutered. He is based in Staffs.
12Mar2010 | Greyhound Gap | READ MOREDan – 6 year old male Lurcher
Dan is around 6 years of age and is a medium sized Lurcher standing around 25″ tall. This boy has a such a beautiful nature. He is happy, sociable, loving, fabulous with other dogs, polite, gentle and I could go on and on. His only vice is he does not like cats or small furries.
Dan is currently in foster with three other dogs, 1 elderly greyhound girl, and one older cross breed male and another young male greyhound. He has been the epitomy of politeness since landing with them and has walked in like he has always lived there. Dan walks well on the lead and is clean in the house, he travels like a dream and is fine left with the company of the other dogs. We do feel that Dan could be an only dog IF there was someone around most of the time but he does occasionally lie and wait at the bottom of the stairs for his foster Mum so could become clingy if allowed to. He has been great when left with the other dogs though and settles quickly.
Dan is such a steady lad and one of the nicest natured hounds we have had through this rescue someone is going to have a wonderful soul mate in this boy.
Dan is vaccinated, kennel cough vaccinated, treated for parasites, microchipped and neutered. He is in a foster home in Staffordshire.

Wurzel is a young Lurcher lad of around 16 months old. He came into our care from a stray pound environment in a bit of a mess. He had clearing mange, was a little underweight and his skin was very sore. With treatment this has all cleared up now and his coat is taking on a beautiful shine and his weight is now good.
Wurzel is a very easy little dog. He has been clean in his foster home from day one having only one small accident. He gets on well with the other dogs he is co existing with (3 lurchers) and there are cats in the foster home however as he has recovered he has started to chase them and show much more interest so would be better rehomed without them. Wurzel would be fine to live in a home with other dogs and would be equally happy as an only dog we feel if his new family were around most of the time as he is very much a people dog. Wurzel is good on the lead and travels well. He is also good off lead in secure areas but would require more recall work before he is allowed off into the big wide world.
Wurzel loves children however he does jump up a little which we are working on so would be better with dog savy children 5 plus. As Wurzel was so thin and had obviously been fending for himself for some time he can be a bit of a thief where food is concerned if its left out in his reach so worktops and bins have to be secured. This will get better as he gets less hungry and realises that meals are a more regular thing.
Wurzel is an absolute little star and someone is going to be very lucky to offer this boy a home. He is in a foster home in Surrey.
Wurzel is vaccinated, kennel cough vaccinated, treated for parasites, microchipped and neutered.

Jilly – 2 year old female Lurcher
This is Jilly and she is a 2 year old female Lurcher. Her dad was evidently a Deerhound. She does not like cats or skateboards. We do not take her walking much at night as she gets a little spooked by shadows and rubbish bags! She will eat any sort of food, hers or yours. It would be good if she could have company during the day. If she is left alone, she gets bored and absentmindedly will chews things.
Jilly was spaded around the six months mark. She is micro chipped and vaccinated.
8Mar2010 | Dogs Friends | READ MORERuby – 2 1/2 year old female Lurcher cross German Shepherd Dog
Ruby is a very pretty 2 1/2 year old female Lurcher cross German Shepherd Dog. She is very loving and loyal.
Poor Ruby has experienced a terrible trauma sometime in her young life. It is suspected that she had boiling oil poured over her back. Thankfully the scarring is now covered by fur and the vet has confirmed that the skin has healed and Ruby will not require any ongoing treatment.
Despite her trauma you couldn’t wish to meet a more affectionate, happy and obedient dog as Ruby, who really wants to please and be with you.
Ruby bonds strongly with her carers so we are looking for a home where Ruby can be someone’s number one companion and who can give her lots of attention. Ruby would also do well with an owner sensible enough not to allow her to become too dependent on them.
Ruby loves retrieving a ball, including those that go into the sea and she will retrieve a ball until she is completely worn out! Ruby also loves playing with other dogs and will try to get dogs to chase her for fun. She will play with dogs of any size.
From a distance Ruby panics when she sees another dog and she will bark and jump about when she is on a lead. Off the lead, she will run up to other dogs, sniff them and come back to you. We feel, therefore, that Ruby is better off in a rural area where she is less likely to be on a lead coming into contact with lots of other dogs.
Ruby lives happily with other dogs. She would be a great companion for another dog. Ruby could possibly live with a cat. Ruby is likely to be fine around sensible children from 10 upwards.
