About large dogs in Orkney Islands
Large dogs are among the most overlooked and most rewarding adoptions. They often wait longer in rescue than small dogs and puppies, yet many are calm, trained, gentle companions who simply need a home with room and a daily walk. This page gathers the large dogs listed with rescues in and around Orkney Islands.
Typical large breeds and crosses in UK rescue include Labradors, German Shepherds, Huskies, Lurchers, Greyhounds and large crossbreeds. Energy varies hugely within large dogs, from a sofa-loving retired Greyhound to a high-drive working breed, so match the individual dog to your routine. The rescue or foster home can tell you a dog's real energy, manners and who it can live with before you commit.

Can I get a large dog free to a good home in Orkney Islands, or one under £500?
