Shoreham rescue centre hunts new home for lurcher Tula

Dog's Trust said 'Tula's perfect match would be with active adopters'

A lurcher who spent most of her life in a West Sussex dog rescue centre is looking for a new home.

Three-year-old lurcher Tula arrived at Dogs Trust, Shoreham-by-Sea, in March 2021 after being found as a stray.

The charity said Tula has been with them for 1,050 days and they have classed her as an "underdog" due to the length of her stay.

Staff and volunteers "are baffled as to why [Tula] has not found her forever family yet", the charity said.

Tula was around one-year-old when she was rescued and placed in care at the centre.

'Adorable dog'

Adel Burnett, manager at Dogs Trust Shoreham, said Tula was an "adorable dog" who had been "working hard on her training" at the centre.

"This wonderful girl is full of life and cannot wait to share her fun character with a loving new family," Ms Burnett added.

Dogs Trust said Tula gets nervous around other dogs and would need to be the only pet in her new home.

The charity added the lurcher's "human pals must be of secondary-school age" and a home near the Shoreham centre was preferred.
