Meet some of the current Lurchers in our care!

Long-legged lurchers make great companions but they often get overlooked in rescue centres.
We currently have a few of these wonderfully quirky dogs in our care. We would like to introduce you to each of them and explain the type of home they need…

Had a rescue lurcher for a year and she is simply the best dog I have ever had. I have deep affection and happy memories for my previous dogs but she just something else. The dog in the picture was my last dog, a lovely lovely whippet.

I am adopting a beautiful 18 month old lurcher named Lara. She's been in kennels since she was 9 months old. She is huge _silly & boisterous adorable but I am a widow aged 59 my two grown up sons are 38 & 40 & are settled in their own homes. My youngest son Ben thinks I am taking to much on with her because he is 6 feet 4 & well built & even he thinks she's too strong for me plus she chews on my hands and arms she's only playing but I am covered in bruises on my arms. I really want to well come her into my home she deserves a chance. Can anyone help with local classes for lurcher in the Gateshead /Newcastle area.?

Thank you for getting in touch. We are based in Sussex, but Dogs Trust have a centre in Darlington and they may be able to provide some advice for trainers and behaviourists in the North East area. Their contact details should be on their website.

The problem with rescue centres are there's such an issue with anyone adopting these dogs and hounds, so much criterea, most lurchers are abandoned because there either injured or are useless catch dogs! I no become iv owned them and worked them they are great dogs but they luv a chase and I'll be getting a pup after Xmas I would home a rescue lurcher but it's too difficult!
