Sandy – 2 year old male Lurcher
This is Sandy and he is a 2 year old male Lurcher. He is dog friendly and can be rehomed with children. He is a lovely friendly boy who has settled well into his foster home. He is housetrained,vacinated.neutered and microchipped. He would make a nice addition to any family.
*Update from foster family*
He is a real sweetie so far we have had no major problems. He seems house trained (we have not yet had an accident so fingers crossed) and walks well on a lead. He is also very good a coming back off the lead. I have let him off in camp as if he ran off he would not go far and he has been no problem at all. He loves to run but will always keep within about 100m and comes back when called, particularly when you are carrying some tasty treats. He will sit and does listen to what you are telling him to do. He likes to play and is beginning to learn to fetch a ball. His only major issue is that he hates being tied up. He will quickly chew through any lead you choose to tie him up with and he will whine and whinge the whole time you are away. He also seems to get anxious when you leave him alone. So far he has only been left for an hour or so but I am not sure I would be confident to leave him for long periods. He does not seem destructive but I think he would get very stressed. He would be much happier in a home where people were around for most of the day.
I have been taking him into work and he is quite happy to lie by my desk all day and is friendly to everyone. He loves other dogs big and small but will leave them and come back to you when called. His general demeanour is one of quite a young dog and I doubt he is much more than 2. He really enjoys a cuddle on the sofa and he is sleeping in our bed room as he howls if left downstairs, given half a chance he would be in your bed. He is a really easy dog to have around, he tends to have a mad half hour in the evening but then collapses and sleeps all night.
He is also very good about food for a lurcher. He does not beg for tipbits and will not take things off the counter if you are in the room. He would probably go through your bin if you left him alone but overall this is not too bad. He is also very good in the car and to go for long journeys without complaining.
Overall for a foster dog he really is very good and he will make someone such a good pet. He would enjoy being with another dog so long as he could get some individual attention and although I have not yet tried I think he will be fine with children
