Wurzel – 16 month old male Lurcher
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.
