Chase

Chase is an energetic, playful, and intelligent Saluki X Lurcher who adores both humans and other dogs. Weighing 24kg and standing 25 inches to the shoulder, Chase is approximately 1.5 to 2 years old—the perfect age for fun and learning! He’s happiest when playing fetch in the garden or curling up on his human’s lap—he’s a true cuddle bug! Fully house-trained and walking beautifully on the lead, Chase is highly food-motivated, making him a dream to train.

A true "lover boy," Chase prefers sitting on his humans rather than next to them. He’s friendly with other dogs and learning to greet them more calmly, though his enthusiasm sometimes gets the best of him! He has already made fantastic progress in foster care and now only gets overly excited when dogs are very close to him.

Chase forms strong attachments to his people and has been working on his separation anxiety. He is currently in a foster home without another dog, and his foster parents believe that having another dog around could cure, or at least improve, his anxieties around being left alone. His foster parents have seen great improvement - he now chooses to sleep downstairs alone some nights instead of at the foot of their bed, and isn’t following foster mum around like a shadow all the time! He’ll thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time, especially at first, and would likely benefit from a confident, well-adjusted dog to show him that being alone isn’t so scary. Plus, he’d love a playmate to zoom around the garden with and play his favorite game—tug! His new humans must be willing to continue the training with him to continue his progress in overcoming his separation anxiety.

Like many young Lurchers, Chase can be boisterous in play, but with time, maturity, and a slightly older dog to set boundaries, he’ll make a wonderful sibling. He’s a joy to take to pubs and cafés—give him a soft spot to sit (classic Saluki!) and he’ll soak up the admiring glances.

Chase would do best with sighthound-savvy owners who can continue his training and help him build confidence when left alone. He’s never met a person he hasn’t loved and leans on everyone he meets for a good butt scratch, his signature greeting!

If you're looking for an affectionate, playful, and people-loving companion, Chase could be the perfect match.
