Stray Lurcher Shadow seeks patient home after foster care

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 15 Nov, 05:58 · Archive

Dogs Trust Cumbria is seeking adopters for Shadow, a stray Lurcher who needs time to settle and must be the only pet.

Shadow, a stray Lurcher, is being cared for by Dogs Trust Cumbria after being found as a stray. The charity describes him as friendly and affectionate, though he can feel unsure when meeting people or facing new experiences. Dogs Trust says he may initially shy away while taking in what is happening, but with time and patience he will approach people for attention.

Treats help gain Shadow's focus and build his confidence, and he takes them gently and politely. At home, Shadow enjoys relaxing on a sofa and finding warm places in the sunshine. He is good on the lead during walks. He has also accompanied his foster parents to their office, where he behaved well and slept. The charity notes that his sleeping positions are unusual and comical.

Shadow needs adopters who can give him time to settle at his own pace. He must be the only pet in the household because he needs to develop his social skills around other dogs. He has not been around cats or small animals, which the charity says presents a concern for households with them.

Interested adopters can contact Dogs Trust Cumbria at the Community Hub, 3 Middlegate, Penrith. The hub is open Monday and Tuesday from 9am to 3pm, Wednesday and Thursday from 11am to 3pm, Friday from 9am to 3pm, and Saturday from 9am to 4pm.
