Today I met the most lovely lurcher. She is about 12-18 months old, about 25" (at a rough guess), she's a very dark grey almost black, smooth coat. She was hit by a car right outside the RSPCA animal hospital so could have been dumped outside in the hope of being taken in. She has suffered a broken right hind leg which has been pinned at the hospital.

As she was found on Feb 14th her name is Valentine :wub: :wub:

Three weeks later & no owner has come forward so she needs a home. At the moment she is recovering well but needs to have more company & very gentle excersise than can be managed at the vets.

We would love to find her a permanent home but atm a foster home in Manchester area would be great as the pin needs to be reassessed & probably removed in about 3 weeks time.

I very tentatively mentioned it to my OH but he's against it. I know he's right as our house is not the most restful of places & of course we don't know what she's like with cats or other dogs.

She is very friendly to people & was all over me within minutes of me seeing her, she would win "dog with the waggiest tail anyday".

If anyone is able to help with fostering all food & vets expenses will be provided by RSPCA for the duration of fostering (prob about 4 weeks till the pin is removed )

You can either PM me or phone 0161 477 8364 if you can help in anyway :luck:

Thanks.

Julie & Valentine :wub:

ps. if anyone knows how to cross post this onto the lurcher page I'd be grateful

I'm nowhere in the vicinity and can't help but have you tried contacting Lurcher link and Greyhound Gap and posting at the k9 lurcher section?

Greyhound Gap has a webpage:

Thanks for your replies, I have spent this morning phoning around & had arranged a foster home for Valentine at another RSPCA branch. But when I phoned the Animal Hosp to make arrangements I was given some really GOOD NEWS ) )

A long standing client at the vets has recently lost her old dog (not good news ) and can't imagine life without another lurcher so she was introduced to Valentine & of course fell in love with her cos she's that sort of dog :wub: :wub:

So, what a difference a day makes, I think it's quite strange how these things happen, she was in there for 3 weeks with no interest & then all of a sudden we have 2 places for her. But a permanent home is the best result we could hope for :cheers:

I'm also quite relieved that I don't have to divorce Neil to allow me to bring her here :- "
