About lurchers in Belfast
Lurchers near Belfast are listed with us by Paws and People at Banbridge, about 22 miles away, a small, home run registered charity that rehomes and rehabilitates animals and lists them on The Pet Adoption Website, and by Almost Home Animal Rescue NI at Moira, about 14 miles away. Almost Home's volunteers work hands on with every animal, and it says it will hold out until it finds the family that best matches both the dog's needs and its personality; a refusal is about the fit with that dog, not a judgement on you, and it will help you look for another.
Whichever rescue you adopt from, Northern Ireland law requires a dog licence (£12.50 from your council, valid for 12 months), and taking possession of a dog before you hold a licence for it is an offence for both you and the person handing it over (nidirect).

About lurchers
A lurcher is a type, not a breed. Dogs Trust describes it as a sighthound, such as a Greyhound, Whippet or Saluki, crossed with another breed such as a Collie or Terrier.

- Dogs Trust: Lurcher (Lurchers vary with the breeds in the mix; Battersea describes them as medium to large, with a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years.)
Breed descriptions are general. Every rescue animal is an individual, so the rescue's own assessment of the animal comes first.

Are there lurcher puppies for sale in Banbridge?
No. Rescues rehome lurchers for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. In and around Banbridge today, lurchers are listed by Paws and People (in Banbridge) and Almost Home Animal Rescue NI (at Moira, about 9 miles away). Paws and People asks £150 for an adult dog. For Almost Home Animal Rescue NI, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free lurcher to a good home in Banbridge, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing lurchers in and around Banbridge today, Paws and People publishes its fee: it asks £150 for an adult dog. Every one of those is under £500. For the other rescue, see the rescue's own page. In Northern Ireland a dog also needs a council licence before you collect it, paid for or not: it costs £12.50 and lasts 12 months, with a £5 rate for some owners (nidirect).
