It is possible, on payment of a very small annual subscription, to become a Friend of JR Whippet Rescue and receive a twice yearly newsletter from us, by email or by post. In addition to letters from supporters who have adopted whippets, letting us know how they’re getting on, and reports from various officers of the charity, the newsletters often include special offers – discounted dog-friendly holiday cottage bookings, for example – made exclusively to Friends. Life memberships (individual and family) are also available.
This is Moppet, pictured on her 14th birthday, and featured in the last Friends of JR Whippet Rescue newsletter’s gallery of whippet pics. When she died, at the grand old age of 16, her owner then rescued a fifteen year old whippet. The oldies are the hardest dogs to rehome but give so much to those who accept that the whippet they adopt may only be with them for a few short years. Moppet looks to have been an absolute darling.
If you would like to become a Friend of JR Whippet rescue please email Dot, or telephone Annette on 01505 842123, for further information.
I’m so glad to be a Life Member. I’d encourage anyone who enjoys this blog to join.

Hi Andrea, you can download the adoption application form from our contact page.
My husband and I would like to foster. My husband works full time as a teacher, but I am retired and home most of the time. We had a beautiful rescued lurcher for eleven wonderful years, Alfie, and he passed three years ago. I still miss him to this day, but feel it’s time to offer a home to another rescue. Our home is secure with 5 foot fencing all around the very large back garden. There are no regular visitors, and those that do visit very rarely, are aged 10 and above.
We took on a lurcher, a year ago, but he had separation issues and was very possessive. Because he was an older dog, he was too set in his ways and I must admit to struggling with him, so he had to be returned unfortunately as his behaviour frightened me. I’m not a defeatist or a push-over, but he did have a vicious streak. I tried to rescue a hedgehog from his mouth and he charged at me, baring his teeth. Enough was enough. The hedgehog was retrieved by my husband, but it died unfortunately.
Please let me know if you think we can be of help to you.
