Do you have space in your home four a rather long-legged furry friend? If so, you are cordially invited to a lunch at Dogs Trust in West Lothian.
The centre are throwing a "Longlegs Luncheon" on Saturday 21 March, running from 2.00pm-3.00pm, in a bid to find forever homes for their 16 sightsounds.
You could find your companion in Liam Longlegs, who loves nothing more than a good cuddle...when he's not napping, of course.
Lucy Longlegs, who is an older lady of nine, will also be there, or maybe you will fall for Laddie Longlegs, who is playful and full of energy.
There will be refreshments and wagging tails on the day,and a chance to find out about the sighthounds – with a possible opportunity to meet some of the dogs themselves.
While there, guests will get to learn all about the special characters of each of the 16 sighthound dogs in need of permanent homes.
Best known for being long-legged, according to the charity, what is less well known is that these dogs are affectionate, remarkably clever and full of personality.
Susan Tonner, Rehoming Centre Manager at Dogs Trust West Calder, said: "Staff at the rehoming centre calculated that the length of all the legs of the 16 longlegs currently in our care, added together, would equal the height of the Scott Monument in Edinburgh!
"Most of the sighthound residents at the centre can be divided into those who are lively longlegs, playful longlegs and energetic longlegs.
“They make for excellent family dogs: kind, calm and gentle. They adore affection from their owners and like to be involved in fun activities. We have so many dogs with such different personalities, that each of our longlegs will be just right for someone.”
