UPDATE 19th April
Well she's still here. I have lowered her protein and the wall of death has stopped, thankfully.
Tilly is getting used to her crate, still protests for five minutes, but a lot better.
She has met so many people and dogs over the last week and has absolutely no problems.
She likes to be busy, given a job. And I have now started to load Kongs, or put chews inside toys to give her brain some work.
She travels well in the crate.
We have had several applications but this is what Tilly needs
PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU WORK AWAY FROM THE HOME, EVEN IF YOU ONLY WORK PART-TIME. SOMEONE AROUND MOST OF THE TIME I WHAT SHE NEEDS.
She needs someone around most of the time. So a home preferably with two people in it.
A dog that will run and play. She and Annie have lovely running times.
An active home where they will be able to let her off lead and explore the countryside with her.
To be able to sleep in a bed in the bedroom. She is absolutely well behaved and silent all night. She has to get up her confidence.
If she could find someone who loved agility she would love it. I have already been training her and she is a potential.
Children are fine, but she might whiplash a little one with that tail or knock them flying indoors.
Her recall is superb. She is just beautiful.
And those ears?!
Do you prefer them like this?
Or like this?

Tilly was loved in her own home, but things have got bad between the dogs. The two Border Terriers who were already in the home have only tolerated Tilly, and one of them constantly went for Tilly.
She is neutered, vaccinated and needs to be out of there as soon as possible.
Hopefully we will get some more photos and a pre-intake assessment tomorrow. But SHE NEEDS A FOSTER HOME.... She is not technically a Lurcher, but a Whippet X in need.
This is the email from her current Mum.
