Sandy - 12-18 month old male Saluki cross Lurcher

January 25th, 2008

Who is going to make Sandy’s life change for the better? Sandy is a 12 - 18 month old Saluki cross Lurcher who came to us from Ireland where he had been found wandering as a stray. After a six-month stay in a general rescue, GRWE were asked to help as there was no realistic prospect of him finding a home in Ireland. And so he made the crossing to us.

We recently removed Sandy from the re-homing section as we felt that his injured leg needed some more investigation. He has had x-rays on his leg and he was referred to a specialist orthopaedic veterinary surgeon for some more investigations as it seemed likely that Sandy might need to have an operation on his leg. After a thorough investigation the vet is now satisfied that this is not necessary.

Sandy has put on a little weight, his coat has improved and he has a jaunty spring in his step too. He is very happy in his foster home where he spends his days playing, playing and playing some more!! We are delighted he is now ready for re-homing. Sandy needs some canine friends to keep him occupied and has tested friendly with cats.

He is happy to be left for periods as long as he has the company of other dogs. Sandys’ hatred of cars is a little improved, but he still gets travel sick and needs bags of reassurance whilst in the car. This is something which will need to be worked on and we will of course help Sandys’ new owner with plenty of help and advice. Sandy is a super dog who will make a great pet for a lucky Saluki lover!
