The DSPCA are holding a two day event to encourage people to adopt lurchers as part of International Dog day.
The animal welfare charity has set up a ‘Lurcher Lounge’ where people interested in adding a lurcher to their family can spend time with the animals currently residing in the Rathfarnham shelter.
Lurchers are typically a very active breed but often recline on sofas at the end of an action packed day. The lounge launched today and will also be open on Saturday for anyone interested in learning more about lurchers, who are also referred to as sighthounds.
