Lara Longlegs

Lurcher · Female · Adult · 8 years

Meet Lara Longlegs, an 8-year-old Lurcher with long legs ready for adventure and a heart full of love! This gorgeous girl is a true cuddle bug who adores spending time with her favourite people. Lara Longlegs is an active girl who enjoys exploring out on walks, playing fetch with her toys, and going swimming - she has a true zest for life! After a walk, you will often find her curled up for a cozy nap on the sofa or soaking up the sunshine in the garden. Lara Longlegs is a friendly and social girl who loves meeting other dogs on walks and could potentially live with one in her furever home. She could also happily live with children of secondary school age and above, as she is very gentle and affectionate. Lara is a total foodie - she will do anything for some sausages, cheese, or peanut butter! She already knows lots of basic training, and would make a great addition to a family. Lara Longlegs would happily jump into the car to go on day trips and loves to watch out of the window whilst travelling! If you are looking for a loving, playful companion who is just as happy exploring outdoors as she is snuggling up at home, Lara Longlegs could be your perfect match!

About Lara Longlegs

What life with Lara Longlegs looks like

Lara Longlegs is a adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust West Calder in West Calder.

An 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 Lara Longlegs, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lara Longlegs?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust West Calder handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lara Longlegs on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lara Longlegs if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust West Calder 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 Lara Longlegs 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 Lara Longlegs 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 West Calder early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lara Longlegs 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.
