Adopt Lulu Longlegs

Lurcher · Female · Young · 1 year

Lulu Longlegs is a sweet and affectionate girl who loves to say hello to everyone she meets! She loves spending her time getting fuss from her favourite people and will sit on the couch next to you and put her paws on your lap. She enjoys playing with her toys and running around, and would love her own garden. She loves some down time, and is an absolute star when it comes to going for a quick nap during the day. She is very friendly and would happily share a home with another doggy friend, pending a successful meet at the centre. Lulu has a gentle nature and would happily live with secondary school aged children. Lulu Longlegs came to us with a very little history and she is looking for a home where someone can be around for most of the day to help her settle into a new environment. She is a great passenger in the car 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.

About Lulu Longlegs

What life with Lulu Longlegs looks like

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

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 Lulu Longlegs, answered.

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