During March, 11 lucky whippets found their forever homes. We’re delighted to say they are all settling in really well.
We continue to take in a high number of whippets each month. Many of these dogs come to us with behavioural challenges and need ongoing support to help them grow into the wonderful pets we know they can be in the right homes.
We’re also receiving a high number of adoption applications, which we’re incredibly grateful for. However, we’re always looking for adopters who understand that rescue dogs aren’t always “ready-made” pets. The reality is that many of the whippets in our care need patience, time, consistency, understanding and training to truly thrive.
Some of the more common challenges we see include:
• Reactivity towards other dogs
• Separation anxiety (often severe)
• Needing child-free homes
• Needing to be the only pet
• Needing quieter home environments
• Requiring basic training and clear boundaries
If you feel you could offer a calm, supportive and understanding home to a whippet in need, we’d love to hear from you. Please fill in an adoption application:
If you’re hoping to adopt a whippet with fewer or less complex needs, please be aware there may be a wait while we match you with the right dog. We will always prioritise placing each Whippet in a home that best suits their individual needs.
Thank you for your continued support, it truly makes all of this possible.
