LOADSA LURCHERS AND GREYHOUNDS GALORE
Dogs Trust Glasgow seeks homes for Greyhounds and Lurchers and a Whippet!
Dogs Trust Glasgow is hoping that visitors will set their sights on a Sight Hound in the coming weeks as its kennels are full to the rafters with four Greyhounds, three Lurchers and a Whippet!
There are currently eight Sight Hounds at the Uddingston rehoming centre, which means they make up approaching 10 per cent of the canine residents there.
Sandra Lawton, Dogs Trust Glasgow Centre Manager, explains:
“It is a huge misconception that Greyhounds, Lurchers and Whippets need lots of exercise – the complete opposite is true! They are actually quite lazy creatures and will need only a couple of short walks a day.
“People are also often put off by their size but breeds like these are very gentle, hugely sociable and appreciative of human affection. They are also generally excellent with children. They absolutely adore our dedicated kennel staff and will make exceptional pets!”
The super eight, with their canine carers, are from left to right:
Fred with Shelby Wilson
Fred, 4 year old, male, brindle Greyhound. Fred is a shy boy but loves some cuddles once he gets to know you. Fred would benefit from living with another dog and can live with children who are 8 years old or over. He needs a secure garden and a home that is willing to help him build his confidence.
