Lurcher Rescue Dogs & Puppies for Adoption in and around Highland

As of 8 November 2026, no lurchers are listed for adoption in and around Highland on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.

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.

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.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee, and Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every lurcher on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Dogs Trust £300. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "lurcher puppies for sale Highland", the lurchers here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In Scotland, Lucy's Law has banned the third-party sale of puppies under six months since 1 September 2021.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog. 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.

Not right now: no lurchers are listed in and around Highland today, so there are no puppies either. Puppies do get listed, and rescues can tell you much more about an adult's character, so check back.
