BreedLurcher

Say hello to our handsome boy, Atlas. At just 1-year-old, this lovable Lurcher is full of personality, fun, and enough enthusiasm to brighten anyone's day.Atlas is still very much a teenager, which means life is one big adventure. His favourite thing is having plenty of space to stretch those long legs and let loose with some spectacular zoomies. Watching Atlas run is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.Once he's finished burning off his energy, Atlas transforms into the sweetest cuddle companion. He has absolutely no concept of personal space and is more than happy to climb straight onto your lap for a snuggle. Be warned though, you'll almost certainly be showered with plenty of kisses.Atlas can happily get along with other dogs after sensible introductions and would enjoy having canine friends to socialise with. He loves to play with other dogs and run around with them but he’s also more than happy to play with some toys.Like many young Lurchers, Atlas is still learning his manners on the lead. He can be bouncy and excitable when out and about, so he'll need an experienced owner who is confident handling a lively youngster and can continue his positive reinforcement training to help him become a calm, polite walking companion.Atlas is looking for someone who understands that he's still growing up and is willing to invest time, patience, and positive training into helping him become the well-rounded gentleman we know he's capable of being. In return, you'll gain a wonderfully goofy best friend who will fill your home with laughter, love, and the occasional flying zoomie.Atlas does prefer to do things with someone there with him, having a human beside him makes him the happiest. This means that Atlas would prefer a home where someone is around most of the time, giving him all the time they can.2020 - 2026 Animal Concern Cumbria. All rights reserved.

Animal Rescue Cumbria is a long-established animal rescue charity founded in 1972 to address the growing number of pets being euthanised due to a lack of suitable homes. Originally run by volunteers fostering animals in their own homes, the charity became formally registered in 1974 under the guidance of Alfred Wainwright, whose support and book royalties helped secure a permanent rescue site. In 1984, the charity opened its Kapellan centre, which continues to provide shelter and care for dogs and cats in need. Today, Animal Rescue Cumbria remains a community-supported organisation, relying on donations, legacies, and fundraising to continue its mission of rescuing, caring for, and rehoming vulnerable animals.

Silver Fox Dog Rescue

Charity No.1170239
Dogs Available2

This foster-based dog rescue works to rescue and rehabilitate dogs in a home environment, allowing each dog to be fully assessed in everyday family life alongside other dogs, cats, and typical household routines. The charity supports dogs that can no longer remain with their owners due to circumstances beyond their control, such as illness, bereavement, housing, or financial difficulties, as well as dogs coming from neglect or abuse cases. All dogs receive essential veterinary care, including neutering, vaccination, and microchipping, before being considered for adoption. Rehoming is carefully managed through home checks, with a strong focus on finding the most suitable, long-term match for each individual dog rather than placing dogs quickly.

More Information

Cumbria’s rural landscape and access to extensive walking routes make it particularly appealing for active rescue dogs and outdoor-loving adopters. Dogs rehomed here are often suited to quieter homes with consistent routines and plenty of exercise. Many Cumbria-based rescues place strong emphasis on matching dogs to lifestyles rather than location alone, especially in more remote areas. Adopting a rescue dog in Cumbria can be a great fit for those looking to share their time and surroundings with a canine companion.
