A ROUGH-COATED lurcher is looking for a home after her owner had to give her up because he could no longer look after her.

Voluntary rescuer Angela Taylor, who works with the North-East Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue charity, took in Gypsy, who is about four, earlier this month. Now she hopes to find her a new owner.

Ms Taylor said: "She is a lovely, gentle dog who will give a lot of love back to the right owner."

Ms Taylor is also looking after a four-year-old greyhound. She can be contacted on (01388) 812782.
