Not one, but two long-legged lurchers are looking to find a home after spending the start of summer at Dogs Trust Manchester. And with many Brits set to break up for summer, it could be the perfect time to welcome a dog into the home and get them settled in.
Lurchers, along with greyhounds, tend to spend a longer period of time in kennels waiting for new potential owners, usually as a result of misconceptions about the breed. And while Diesel and Dawson haven’t spent too long in rescue just yet - the charity wants to find the boys a home sooner rather than later.
The average length of stay at Dogs Trust for lurchers is around two months, with smaller breeds such as Shih Tzu’s spending less than half that time before going off to new homes.
