Happy New Year from JR Whippet Rescue

As we wave goodbye to 2025, we would like to thank you all for your continued support and reflect on a very busy, but rewarding year.

We have helped a record number of whippets this year and 140 of those are now enjoying life in their new homes.

We continue to help a high number of whippets with behaviourial challenges, most often severe lead reactivity or separation anxiety. We know that these things can sometimes be triggered for a reason / after a traumatic event, but often it is due to lack of correct training during the Whippets early stages of life. We can’t stress enough how important it is to socialise your Whippet puppy correctly and start separation anxiety training from a young age to avoid issues in the future.

Blue continues to be the highest colour percentage of the whippets we help. Some people still try to claim that blues are rare…. we can assure you they are not!

During 2026 we hope to start using our social media platform to share advice on whippet ownership and what to expect / do when welcoming a whippet into your home.

We are extremely proud that we have been able to help so many beautiful dogs this year, and we would like to say a huge thank you to our foster carers, transporters, homecheckers, volunteers, supporters and followers for their continued support and dedication, we couldn’t do what we do without you, and we really appreciate you all.

We hope you all have a very Happy New Year.
