Adopt Peggy Sue

Lurcher · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Peggy Sue is looking for a new home through no fault of her own. She would love a home a garden and where she can have company throughout the day. Peggy Sue has separation anxiety so it would be ideal to find a home with experience of this. Her owners must also have Lurcher-type experience. No flats, please. She would enjoy training of some kind to build up her confidence. Peggy Sue is very happy to greet visitors to the home, she can get the zoomies and jumps around. She has a lot of energy. Peggy Sue also loves saying hello to people when out and about, including children, and can run in small circles due to her excitement. On walks, Peggy Sue can get quite excited and will pull on the lead to sniff and play with other dogs. Peggy Sue will try to chase squirrels. Peggy Sue pulls on the lead. Her recall could use work as when off-lead, she will approach other dogs to play and can get very excited. She is fine at the vets, but may whine a little. Peggy Sue is fine to be washed and brushed at home. Peggy Sue is great in the car. She currently lives with a cat and there have been no issues. If she is left alone, Peggy Sue will whine and bark. We are hoping her new home will have separation anxiety experience, but our Welfare Team can also provide support and training advise. She is scared of loud noises such as motorbikes, skateboards, lorries and wheely bins. Peggy Sue is very playful and full of energy. She loves to play fetch and tug of war. She loves long walks but can also be quite lazy once she is tired out, she loves to snooze around the house. Peggy Sue is very affectionate and will sit next to you for hours on the sofa. Peggy Sue has a very loving nature and just wants to play! She is also very calm in the house once all the play is done. Peggy Sue would enjoy training and we hope this would build up her confidence. © 2025 Dog Aid Scotland (SCIO Charity No. SC001918) Web Design by Techincal Services Scotland. Need a website?

About Peggy Sue

What life with Peggy Sue looks like

Peggy Sue is a small young adult lurcher dog waiting at Dog Aid Society of Scotland in United Kingdom.

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 Peggy Sue, answered.

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