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.

  • 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.

How many rescue lurchers are available for adoption in Shetland Islands?

As of 14 November 2026, no lurchers are listed for adoption in and around Shetland Islands on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.

Are there lurcher puppies for sale in Shetland Islands?

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. The nearest place with lurchers listed today is Aberdeen, about 207 miles away, where each profile shows its rescue's fee.

Can I get a free lurcher to a good home in Shetland Islands, 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. Fees are set by each rescue: the profiles on Aberdeen's lurchers page show them.
