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’.

Pet Location: In kennels

We are seeking a foster home for the lovely Simba, who is having to come back into our care. Simba is a six and a half year old bull lurcher. Simba is a very loving and affectionate boy. He's not good with small furries though and he's a jumper, so care needs to be taken even in secure gardens!

Simba had to come back into SGS due to the development of some behavioural issues. Having worked with our professional team behaviourist and a very good vet he has been diagnosed with severe back pain. The exact cause is unknown at this time. but tests are ongoing. Now that he is on the right pain medication Simba's behaviour has done a complete 180 and he is like a different dog, no longer reactive towards others dogs and much more chilled in general.

If you think you can help Simba please contact us - info@scottishgreyhoundsanctuary.com - or fill out an application form at www.scottishgreyhoundsanctuary.org/application-form

Potter may be an older gent but don't let his age put you off, he is full of beans and doesn't act his age. He is looking for a home with calm and confident owners who will give him time and space to settle in. He doesn't like to be left alone for long so we are looking for a home where someone is around for most of the day.

He could live with people over the age of 16 years that can help with his training. He is a very active little dog so would be best suited to someone fit and able to keep him busy and take him plenty of walks.

More about me

Potter would love a secure garden to play in and continue his training. He would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He can get frustrated easily but our training and behaviour advisors will be happy to share how best to manage this in the home.
