A PAIR of leggy Lurchers, believed to be from the same litter, have been reunited at a rehoming shelter.

Dom and Biggles came into the care of Shoreham Dogs Trust after they were found as strays.

While they were found separately, staff became suspicious that the three-year-old dogs could be siblings.

A spokesman for the centre in Brighton Road said: “These adorable pair of Lurcher’s have such uncanny similarities that the team here at Shoreham are almost certain that they are brothers from the same litter.

“Both boys came into the care of Dogs Trust Shoreham after originally being found as strays from two separate organisations— so of course, the suspicion of their relation can only ever be considered a rumour, as there is not enough information to confirm whether our speculations are true.

“However, we like to tell ourselves the ‘tail’ of the two brothers who were separated on the streets, and found each other once again, when reunited in our care.”

Biggles and Dom both tend to find socialising with other canines challenging due to their highly stimulated temperaments and sense of worry when faced with uncertain situations.

But staff say they are both making “great improvements” and have started to form a friendship.

The spokesman said: “The pair both enjoy occasional meetups and can happily walk alongside one another on their walks.

“While the enthusiastic three-year-olds will need to be the only pets at home, they’d both benefit from continuing to develop their socialisation skills with the support of their humans.”

Biggles and Dom are both up for adoption through the Dogs Trust.

Biggles would benefit from having patient adopters, who are willing to work with the charity’s training team.

He will need a slow introduction to the home environment and plenty of time to settle in, but staff say he will soon show a family his “wonderful personality”.

Families hoping to adopt Dom will need to offer him a steady routine and continued training.
