Bristol dogs: Meet Lottie the smart and shy Lurcher looking for her forever home in Bristol

The sweet Lurcher is approximately 4 years old and arrived as a stray to Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary, so unfortunately, not much is known about her past.

Lottie can be shy initially but once she knows you, she is your typical cheeky lurcher.

Since arriving at the shelter, Lottie has been very nervous about being touched. To help with this, the staff have taught her loads of different tricks like hand touch, both paws and chin target to help her initiate the contact. This has helped Lottie realise that it is fun to interact with people and she feels much braver now.

Lottie is looking for a quiet adult only home, with a comfy sofa for her to snuggle on.
