Are you right for Lydia Longlegs?
Lydia Longlegs is the sweetest 2-year-old lurcher who is looking for the perfect family that will match her energy! She is a fun-loving, wriggly girl who loves to play ball and do zoomies around the place. Lydia is a very clever girl and likes to play games that get her brain thinking. Don't think you'll win at hide-and-seek with her ball as Lydia is a seasoned professional! She is looking for a home with children 16 and above and would like to be the only pet in the home. Lydia is happy to jump in the car and would love a garden of her own to run around in with her favourite toys. Lydia is an absolute sweetheart and would make an excellent new companion to a family looking for an active and friendly girl.
AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.
Is Lydia Longlegs right for you?
Lydia recently spent a week with a foster carer and she had the best time! Lydia enjoyed life as an early-riser, she found that this way, she can make the most of her day! She would start by having her breakfast around 7:30am before going on her morning walk. She would do lots of sniffing and exploring on her walks and and would get very wiggly when other dogs would stop to talk to her! When they all got home, Lydia would be sure to find time in her busy schedule to enjoy some snuggles with her foster pawrents! Lydia would even take it upon herself to play games with her foster family to keep them (or more likely, herself!) entertained. Lydia is very happy to be given something long-lasting to chew on if her foster family were a little busy, or she can just keep herself occupied by doing zoomies around the garden! After a fun and stimulating day, Lydia would settle down to dinner before getting to go on another walk! Lydia would cosy up to bed at the same time as her foster family, just in time to start her fun-filled day all over again!

How our rehoming process works
- 1
Create an account and fill out our application form
In our form you can tell us all about your home, your lifestyle and the kind of dogs you’re interested in. You won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can add favourites to give us an idea of the dogs you like. We’ll use this information to find a great match for you.

We’ll review your application
We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re ready.

If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
