Just realised I've not posted about our lurchery lot! We have 14 hounds here in total at the moment (including Molly the whippet, 2 whippet crosses and 5 earmarked greyhounds) but for now here's the lurchers:
Jonathan:
....and yes, he has a front leg missing - he was found as a stray with a very badly broken leg that couldn't be saved. He's mainly greyhound, not sure what else is in there though, aged around 4 years we think :unsure:
Storm:
another amputee - still looking for a home after being here for over a year
He's a greyhound/staffie cross, aged 3 years.
Tess:
She's a greyhound/bedlington cross, aged over 9 years and has fits occaisionally. Tess is unlikely to find a home now, having been with us for over a year and because she is a bit 'odd' so she's one of our 'sponsor' hounds.
The [in-]famous Henry:
looks like a greyhound but technically a lurcher as he's not earmarked, he came in last year after he'd been dumped at a vets in a severely emaciated state. He's over 9 years old and a wonderful old character with no bark...he has laryngeal paralysis.
Dylan:
Dyl came in from Ireland where he'd been found dumped in a ditch and left to die, suffering from severe mange. Against all odds he pulled through and we offered to take him when no other rescue place could be found for him. As far as we can tell he's probably a whippet/bedlington cross with greyhound....or we prefer to describe him as an orange fluffball :wub:
This was him when he first came in last July:
and last but by no means least, the wonderful Silver:
He's a greyhound/GSD cross who we adopted from the RSPCA almost 2 years ago - he was due to be PTS as he was failing badly in kennels and nobody wanted him. He was a cruelty case and had a few 'issues' that we helped him get over (mostly). Silver is around 11-12 years old and he will break my heart when we lose him :'(
edited to add Silver's favorite sleeping position:
So that's our lurchery-lot, hope you like them
