About lurchers

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.

Birmingham Dogs Home asks £250 to £400 and Paws A While Shelter £300 for a dog aged 6 months to 9 years. For Forest Dog Rescue, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free lurcher to a good home in Birmingham, 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 Birmingham today, the published fees run from £250 to £400, both ends at Birmingham Dogs Home. Every one of those is under £500. For the other rescue, see the rescue's own page.
