Whippet/Lurcher x - 19"
Little Shadow was taken to be put down at the Vets. We will never know the reason as he has absolutely no baggage at all. Just 13.8 kilos and 19 inches at the shoulder, be is a lovely little lad who loves to please and cuddle/lurcher lean. He is a bit of whippet and a bit of what? But he is an angel who has shown absolutely no signs of aggression to any dogs, children,adults. He is adorable. Shadow was neutered on Thursday and had his first vax. Thank god the vet said "no" to euthenasia. Shadow deserves a loving and forever home. He is an intelligent little man and just wants to bond. We think he could be a good little agility boy. Whatever, he is a star.

Greyhound/Collie x - 27"
Little Big Tag was found tied to a tree, where a dog walker had passed him several hours before. Only a baby of approx 11 months.. Lovely nature, adores children and everyone. Maturing into a lovely dog, and calming down. Tag needs a home where someone is around most of the day as he is only a baby and preferably an experienced lurcher home with another calming lurcher around. He needs the company of another dog. Tag is currently living with foster forum administrator Mimsmum and her 4 bitches and is being an absolute poppet. He has good manners, is not food aggressive, not anxious when left and has attended dog training. He will be taking his Puppy Citizenship award shortly. Sleeps upstairs and clean indoors. He deserves a wonderful new start where he can be a puppy and enjoy his great life adventure with a loving family.
