Are you right for Flash?

Everyone meet Flash! A 9-year young Lurcher. He’ll make the very best of friends with his loving and fun personality and will always bring a smile to your face. He’s happy to join on days out for exploring in peaceful areas or relaxing at home on the sofa with you. Flash will need someone home most of the time initially and once settled leaving hours can be gradually introduced. A home with a garden will be ideal for playtimes, the odd zoomies and one of his favourite activities, lounging in the sun. Flash would like to be an only dog in the home, though he could have some walking pals with the right introductions. Flash’s new family will need to make a couple of the visits to the centre to meet him and go through training plans before the big adoption day.

Is Flash right for you?

Flash is an amazing lad; the whole team absolutely adore him and can’t understand why he has yet to find his forever home. He’s a superstar with training and likes to show off the many tricks he’s learnt – he does the cutest ‘bow’! Flash loves his toys and is a very happy lad when it’s new toy day. His favourite type are giant plush toys and if they have a squeak, even better! Flash has been for days out with his carers and even had a sleepover. They say he was no bother travelling in the car, is house trained and he loved stretching out on the sofa and having lots of naps, an absolute joy to have around. Have you space in your home, heart and sofa for this gorgeous boy?
