Liquorice Longlegs

Male · Adult · 8 years

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate and wonderfully snuggly companion, Liquorice Longlegs could be just the guy for you! This lovely Lurcher adores nothing more than curling up on the sofa and soaking up plenty of cuddles from his favourite people. He can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but a tasty treat is all it takes to help him come out of his shell and show you his loving personality! Liquorice is a playful boy who loves his toys and would happily spend all day playing fetch if you let him. When it comes to walks, he prefers quieter routes where he can take his time sniffing and exploring everything along the way. He’s also a star on the lead, making walks with him a real pleasure. Liquorice is a great traveller too and happily hops into the car, ready for his next adventure! Liquorice would be happiest as the only pet in the home and with children of secondary school age or above. Could you be the loving family Liquorice Longlegs has been waiting for? If you think you could offer this gorgeous boy his forever home, get in touch today! AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.

About Liquorice Longlegs

What life with Liquorice Longlegs looks like

Liquorice Longlegs is a adult 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 Liquorice Longlegs, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Liquorice 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 Liquorice Longlegs on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Liquorice 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 Liquorice 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 Liquorice 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 Liquorice 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.
