Zippy - 13 year old male Lurcher (Whippet cross Bedlington Terrier)

This is Zippy he is a 13 year young Lurcher (Whippet cross Bedlington Terrier) he has found his way into rescue at his age due to his family emigrating this has been a very sad and upsetting decision for his family as they have had him for the last 12 years when he was found hanging from barbed wire and his legs were in a real state.

This was a very long time ago and since then he has live a very happy and content life with his family but the upsetting decision has been made that he cannot go with them this is due to the fact that Zippy doesn’t travel well in the car and so to put him through a 32 hour plane journey would be very difficult for him so here he is looking for a new home where he can live out his many remaining years.

Although Zippy may be 13 years old he is in good heath he is a little bit deaf and blind but this doesn’t hinder him getting around and he certainly has no problems jumping up in your lap for cuddles and kisses Zippy is a very affectionate dog who is use to having people around most of the time he gets on well with other dogs and can also live with cats he has also had contact with chickens and ducks.

Zippy doesn’t much like going out in the car he doesn’t get sick but he does get very stress so wouldn’t make a good travelling companion, Zippy enjoys going out on daily walks and walks nicely on his harness. Zippy is also very well socialized with children and he sat for ages having loving of my 8 year old and followed her of the settee to get more, Zippy is only a small dog standing at about 15inches so small enough to be picked up for those extra special hugs, Zippy family is emigrating in about 4 weeks time and we would love to get him in a home before then so they can see him settled so if you think that you have room for a special little lad in your life please contact us today!
