Lovely Lurcher Lucky is 8 years old, 24-25 inches to the shoulder and about 20kg. He’s in the care of Lurcher Link Rescue in West Yorkshire who say he’s available to either adopt or foster. He’s looking for a home where any children are sensible teenagers and any other dogs are nice, calm lady dogs. He cannot abide cats! He also needs plenty of peace so a quiet area, without too much traffic, rural or semi-rural would be ideal.
Lucky loves to be near his people and wants someone at home with him most of the time. He is nervous of strangers but once he’s got to know and trust someone, he will want fuss.
Lucky has relaxed a great deal since he was first brought in. He was so scared then, that he had to be carried to his kennel! He also used to resource guard his food. He spent some time on a home trial and things were going well but one of his prospective owners suddenly got a serious health condition and, sadly, Lucky had to be returned to kennels.
His former, almost-owner said, “Lucky is a very loving, intelligent, funny lad, who keeps us on our toes. It’s not been all plain sailing as is expected with any rescue. He has improved massively, with traffic in our village even the noisy farm vehicles. He can be reactive to some people and noisy dogs and unsure of children, but relaxed while we chat to understanding friends.
“We can now get him to wait quietly behind a door while we answer the back door, but sadly he hates to be left although that could be worked on. So much more I could say, but most of all I hope Lucky finds a forever home. With someone who understands him and has plenty of time to work with him, he will be the most wonderful companion.”
