October Round Up

October has been a busy and record-breaking month for us, with 19 whippets heading off to their new homes. Some of these are on foster with a view to adopt, but they are all settling in and doing well 🥰

We also have a number of whippets already due to head off to their new homes over the coming weeks too.

At the moment, we are receiving calls and emails most days about whippets needing to come into our care. Please bear with us when getting in touch. We are working around the clock and helping as fast as we can, but we really are pushed to our limits currently.

We continue to help whippets with behavioural challenges who need understanding adopters to help them settle and thrive in their new homes. This is mainly reactivity, separation anxiety, house training, and whippets that need to be only pets. We rarely have cat friendly whippets available for rehoming. Please understand this when applying to adopt.

We receive lots of messages asking where people can see details of the whippets we have available for adoption. We receive around 3000 adoption applications each year, so we often don’t need to advertise the whippets we have available as we can match make them to homes we’ve already spoken with and homechecked. However, we will occasionally share whippets with more complex needs who are looking for a specific type of home.

As always, we thank all our supporters, volunteers, foster carers, homecheckers, and transporters for their dedication and help, we couldn’t do what we do without you and appreciate all you do.
