Well if I am truthful I always knew the puppy option would be impossible without a lottery win, so I have registered with three organisations to try and find a rescue whippet :) I am pleased that J R Whippet Rescue - who I have known of for 30 years - have said that they fit the dog to the home rather than having broad-brush rules; I know that working full time will always be a major issue for rescue organisations so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed :)

If anyone knows of any...... would have to be a bitch, ideally about 3 years old? :D

Tracey Beauchamp often gets whippets in and shes very sensible about rehoming them. Shes the first person I would contact f I was looking. I'd trawl preloved and the like as well.

Saw the heading and knew it would be your thread Levrier! In your favour is the fact that you make it work with your other dogs and the fact she wouldn't be alone. I have my fingers x for you.
Did you see my Facebook share? Flicka won in the best child handler yesterday and she hates showing!

Honestly you'll probably get something quicker from the small ads... It was several (6+?) months after I signed up with a host of organisations that I got the first offer. Different circs but again, a couple of the a key criteria not met. My small ads find is a delight though.

I'm going on a GRSB pointy play date next weekend (keeping my mate from work company and cracking out the GoPro to film her daft hound) - if there's any whippy ladies available I will let you know. :)

oh no, it mustnt have sent. Let me double check. Hes 8.5 months old, blue and white, dainty proper whippet, KC papers. Hes in temporary home in Newcastle. The only reason I ddint take him is the thought of Floyd at 9 months and this boy at 8.5 months, living together, made me want to move out :lol:

I think hes found a home now though, I'll go and check.

Have you tried the Evesham Greyhound and lurcher trust?

I think you are near me so close to them and they always have a lot of different types in.

We got a whippet X saluki from them last year to go with our whippet boy- my mum lives in and runs a pub and they were fine with that so assume ok with people who work normal jobs too.

Yes I rang about Pabsi a few days ago - she is just gorgeous - but she is not suitable unfortunately :( I follow their website closely so am looking out for something else coming up :)
