Storm

Lurcher · Male · Adult · 6 years

If you are looking for a calm and loving companion - meet Storm! He is our 6-year-old lurcher and is a fan favourite at the centre. He greets everyone he meets with wags and excited tippy taps and leans in for a big fuss. Storm loves going out on walks, especially with dog friends and then comes back to his kennel for his favourite thing in the world - food! If you want a bit of sunshine in your life then welcome Storm into your family. Storm is a sweet boy who can live with children of secondary school ages and above. He would prefer to be the only pet in the home so that all of the love and attention can be on him but he is a friendly boy and loves going for walks with other dogs. As Storm can be worried when left in new circumstances he would prefer a home where his new family are around most of the time initially. Typical of his breed, Storm has shown a prey drive and so would be kept on a lead when out and about. He can also be worried by the vets and so we do muzzle him for vet checks but he is getting braver every day!

About Storm

What life with Storm looks like

Storm is a large adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Manchester in Manchester.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Storm, answered.

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