About lurchers in London
Lurchers near London come mainly from Rescue Remedies at Smallfield near Gatwick, about 22 miles from London, with others from Foal Farm Animal Rescue at Biggin Hill, about 15 miles from London, Wallace Kennels Dog Rescue at Stondon Massey near Brentwood, about 21 miles from London, and All Dogs Matter, whose dogs live at its kennels near Waltham Abbey or in foster homes.
For a sighthound, the rule that matters most at Rescue Remedies is its On-Lead Rule: it does not home to families who want their dog off lead. It asks for a lead around streets, a training line or extending lead once you reach open ground, and a secure dog exercise field if you want your dog to run free. It takes no calls or visits; you start with its homing questionnaire.
Wallace Kennels asks a donation from £280 to £350 and shows dogs strictly by appointment. All Dogs Matter charges £150 to £220, which includes four weeks of Petplan insurance.

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.

Lurchers listed in and around London today
As of 14 November 2026, 16 lurchers are listed with rescues in and around London on LocalPetFinder: by their listed age, 1 puppy aged 12 months or under, 9 adults and 3 aged 7 or over. The rest have no age we can read, so check the profile.
1 of them is listed as a cross, as the rescue describes it: 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.
Sources (checked 30 September 2026)
- 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 London?
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 London today, lurchers are listed by Foal Farm Animal Rescue (in London), All Dogs Matter (at Waltham Abbey, about 14 miles away) and National Animal Welfare Trust Hertfordshire (at Watford, about 15 miles away), and 4 other rescues. Foal Farm Animal Rescue asks £150 to £350 for a dog, All Dogs Matter £150 to £220 for a dog and National Animal Welfare Trust Hertfordshire £250 for a dog.
Can I get a free lurcher to a good home in London, 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 London today, the published fees run from £150 at Foal Farm Animal Rescue to £400 at RATS Animal Rescue. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 2, see the rescue's own page.
