Whippet Rescue

“Sorry, no whippets available for adoption. Generally, who has a whippet keeps him!”

The devotion of these dogs to their owners is often paid back with equal attachment.

Also, whippets don’t compete in professional coursing and racing and this fact preserved the breed from abuses and over breeding.

More often than not whippets are pets who in the weekend enjoy the competition with their human friends.

This privileged position gives most whippets the opportunity to became almost a family member and they are seldom given up for adoption.

But sometimes the unexpected happens and a whippet might be in the position of having to find a new family.

By an other hand, you might decide that your lifestyle allows a bigger pet and you might be tempted to adopt a greyhound or get interested in Spanish galgo rescue. Many galgos and greyhounds are destroyed each year although, once they finish their racing career, they can make marvelous pets.

Puppies are wonderful, they are cute, cuddly and fun but they also mean a lot of work and they might cost you a fortune in chewed shoes and furniture.

Temperament, abilities, size and looks are evident and possibly the rescuers will be able to help you with your choice. What you see is what you get.

An adult dog will learn more quickly than a puppy and, if you are lucky, the dog has already had some training from the previous owner or the foster care where he was placed before adoption.

Many dogs have to be destroyed for no faults of their own. Adopt a greyhound, rescue a galgo or help a whippet out of a difficult situation and enjoy feeling good about it!
