Sweet Lurcher dog Violet who loves people is waiting at the RSPCA Preston for her forever family

Do you have a heart violet-shaped hole in your heart and home...

Meet sweet girl Violet who needs a home.

The three-year-old Lurcher who is currently in the RSPCA’s care in Preston will sit politely when asked so you can put on or take off her harness.

She is a very sociable girl and doesn't like being left alone for too long.

Violet loves people and is always excited to see you and meet new people.

Like most Lurchers, she loves to do zoomies all around the field, but once she tires herself out, she will happily lay by you for some strokes and fuss, and will give plenty of affection and kisses back.

A spokesperson for RSPCA Preston said: “She is the perfect angel for handling, health checks etc.

“Violet is a very smart girl and responds well to her handler for training, whether she is rewarded by a food, fuss or toys. She knows lots of commands; sit, down, paw, and 'leave it'.

“She pulls a little on lead, usually as she is too excited to get to where she wants to go, but does settle and is enjoyable to walk.”

Violet takes everything in her stride, and reacts well to people, vehicles, bikes etc. when taken off site for a walk.

She likes other dogs and has been for walks with other dogs at the centre too.

Violet could live with children age 5+. She could also be rehomed with a compatible dog subject to successful meetings at the Centre, but no cats.
