About Belle

Beautiful Belle is a lurcher girl of around 7-years-old, looking for a new family due to a change in circumstances at home. Belle has been a much loved family pet for the past six years; her family have made the difficult decision to rehome her, with her best interests in mind.

Belle is very well-behaved inside the home (with the exception of a bit of counter-surfing!) and although she loves her walks, she’s content to snooze for most of the day. She absolutely loves people and is really affectionate and loving. She’s also very welcoming with visitors to the home. Belle is friendly with children, but can be a little bit too enthusiastic for very small kids! Belle is comfortable with spending around four hours alone at home, though this would need to be built up again gradually in a new environment. She travels well in the car, and generally walks well on-lead; though she will suddenly lunge if she spots a cat or squirrel, and can be very strong! Although Belle is very settled inside the home, she does need a decent amount of exercise, including regular runs in a safe area. Belle gets along well with dogs once introduced to them properly, but can struggle with frustration when meeting unfamiliar dogs on walks. This has been more apparent recently, since Belle hasn’t been getting the amount of exercise she’s used to.

Homing Needs

• Could live with another dog pending introductions (but homing as the only pet may be easier at the moment).
• Could live with children, as long as they’re comfortable with big, bouncy dogs!
• Needs either a decent-sized, secure garden OR access to a secure field/other safe area for regular runs.
• Needs walking areas without too many other dogs to start with (especially off-lead dogs).
• Can be left home for up to 4 hours at a time.
• Belle is currently located near Lancaster, but we will arrange transport for her to meet any potential adopters.
