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".
As of 7 November 2026, 4 lurchers are listed with rescues in Merseyside on LocalPetFinder: by their listed age, 4 adults.
1 of them is listed as a cross, as the rescue describes it: American Bulldog/Lurcher Cross. Breed labels on rescue listings are often a best guess from looks.
The rescues mark 1 as able to live with children and 1 with other dogs. Where a profile says nothing, it doesn't mean no: ask the rescue.

Breed descriptions are general. Every rescue animal is an individual, so the rescue's own assessment of the animal comes first.

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.
It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 1 of the 4 lurchers listed in Merseyside as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
The lurchers listed in Merseyside today are with Carla Lane Animals in Need at Melling (3) and Freshfields Animal Rescue at Ince Blundell (1); each profile shows that rescue's fee. Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. 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.
No. We don't list animals for sale. Every lurcher on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 4 lurchers listed in Merseyside today are with Carla Lane Animals in Need at Melling (3) and Freshfields Animal Rescue at Ince Blundell (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile. For comparison, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. If you searched "lurcher puppies for sale Merseyside", 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.
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 4 lurchers listed in Merseyside today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Carla Lane Animals in Need at Melling. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £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.

Not right now: none of the 4 listed in Merseyside is aged 7 or over by its listed age. Older lurchers do come into rescue, so check back. Some rescues charge less for older dogs: Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over.
