What lurchers are like to live with

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. Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home says lurchers "are not actually a recognised breed".

Lurchers listed in and around Crawley today

As of 8 November 2026, 17 lurchers are listed with rescues in and around Crawley on LocalPetFinder: by their listed age, 1 puppy aged 12 months or under, 10 adults and 3 aged 7 or over. The rest have no age we can read, so check the profile.

2 of them are listed as a cross, as the rescue describes it: Lab x Lurcher and Malinois x Lurcher. Breed labels on rescue listings are often a best guess from looks.

The rescues mark 6 as able to live with children and 5 with other dogs. Where a profile says nothing, it doesn't mean no: ask the rescue.

What is a lurcher?

A lurcher is a sighthound, such as a Greyhound, Whippet or Saluki, crossed with another breed such as a Collie or Terrier, as Dogs Trust puts it. It is a type rather than a recognised breed, so lurchers vary in size and coat.

What is the difference between a lurcher and a greyhound?

A greyhound is a pedigree breed; a lurcher is a cross. Dogs Trust names the lurcher as one common greyhound crossbreed, a mix of a sighthound like a Greyhound, Saluki or Whippet with a Collie or Terrier, and says lurchers can be long-haired or short-haired. Blue Cross says they often share similar traits to greyhounds.

Are lurchers good with children?

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Most of the 17 lurchers listed in and around Crawley today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

How much does it cost to adopt a lurcher in Crawley?

The lurchers listed in and around Crawley today are with Rescue Remedies at Smallfield, about 5 miles away (7), Foal Farm Animal Rescue at London, about 27 miles away (2), Wallace Kennels Dog Rescue at Brentwood, about 41 miles away (2) and 5 other rescues; each profile shows that rescue's fee. Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there lurcher puppies for sale in Crawley?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every lurcher on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 17 lurchers listed in and around Crawley today are with Rescue Remedies at Smallfield, about 5 miles away (7), Foal Farm Animal Rescue at London, about 27 miles away (2), Wallace Kennels Dog Rescue at Brentwood, about 41 miles away (2) and 5 other rescues, and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile. For comparison, Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, and Dogs Trust £300. If you searched "lurcher puppies for sale Crawley", the lurchers here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Can I get a free lurcher to a good home in Crawley, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 17 lurchers listed in and around Crawley today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Rescue Remedies at Smallfield, about 5 miles away. Many rescue fees are under £500: Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
