Boo

Lurcher · Female · Young · 1 year

Boo is a friendly young Lurcher (approx 1 year old) who came into our care via the stray pound after sadly remaining unclaimed. Boo is a real sweetheart and an absolute snuggle bug! She travels well in the car and loves nothing more than lounging in sunny spots or curling up on the sofa. She is at her happiest sat beside you leaning against you for snuggles, or standing beside you where she'll slowly lean on you until she flops down on her side, where she'll show you her belly with her legs in the air, proudly showing you her belly for some gentle tummy rubs! If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate companion who will happily soak up all the snuggle, love and affection you can offer, Boo could be your girl. Boo enjoys getting out on walks, she is gentle on the lead and respectful to other dogs, she loves having a good zoomie in a secure field or safely enclosed garden. She has been known to have a little look around to see what lives on the kitchen countertops too, so her new family will need to make sure anything tempting is safely out of reach while she settles in. Boo knows some basic commands including sit, lie and up — which she has learned means it’s time to get up on the sofa! With her being so relaxed and well behaved around other dogs, we feel she could potentially live with a neutered dog, subject to a successful meet at the centre. Boo can also live with children. We have not seen her around small furries! Boo would like a home where someone is around for most of the day while she settles in and gets to know her new surroundings. She is looking for someone who will enjoy having her as a close companion and who can give her the time, affection and reassurance she needs.

About Boo

What life with Boo looks like

Boo is a small young adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cumbria in Cumbria.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Boo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Boo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Cumbria handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Boo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Boo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Cumbria will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Boo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Boo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Cumbria early rather than rehoming privately; they know Boo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
