Minstrel at Greyhound Awareness League

A Male Black Lurcher who is age ~2

Good With Children Not Good With Other Pets Not Good With Dogs

Contact Shelter Adoption Form

Pet Location: Kennels

Minstrel is a lurcher, who is approximately two years old and is a gorgeous, affectionate and playful boy. In the home environment he is calm and relaxed. He loves cuddles and is fully housetrained.

Minstrel has had some basic training in the past but has also taken to clicker training with enthusiasm! He loves to interact with people, although he can be a little shy around men initially, and responds well to praise and encouragement. Minstrel bonds strongly with people and he does have some mild separation issues but these could be improved on greatly within a home environment.

We don’t think that Minstrel has had the opportunity to learn about things that he may encounter outside of the home environment and as a result finds this stressful and is not comfortable with other dogs. Minstrel would have to be the only dog in the home and he does not like cats.

Minstrel needs a special home with someone understanding who would take the time to help him gain confidence, to settle and enable him to carry on with his training plan; this would be fully supported by a Canine Behaviourist who currently is working with him. This is what she has to say about him;

‘Minstrel is a lovely boy who needs a calm environment to improve his confidence and to continue with his training. He took to agility and clicker training instantly and is improving greatly on his impulse control. Anyone who considers taking him into their home would see that with patience and understanding he has huge potential’.

Star at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home

Not Good With Children Not Good With Dogs

Contact Shelter

Shelter Location: 26 Seafield Road East Edinburgh Midlothian EH15 1EH

Star has been with us for some time now and we would love to find him a forever home. He is a friendly and affectionate boy, who loves to play and have fun. His favourite things are footballs, cheese, and having a good scratch behind his left ear. While here he has learnt to walk politely on a harness and lead, to play fetch, to sit on command and to make eye contact when given the “watch me” command. He loves learning and would like to carry on with his training when he is in his new home. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the best start in life so he can be nervous when he's out and about, particularly around other dogs and children. He is looking for an experienced owner who has the time and commitment to do behaviour work with him, and help him gain some much needed confidence. He would like to live in a home without children, where he can be the only pet.
