Whippet

Almost Home NI

Meet Alfie and Lily, our beautiful Whippet duo. What could be better in life than two Whippets? One is wonderful, but two is even better. Alfie, who we believe is likely Lily’s dad, is around four years old, while Lily is just a baby at only eight months old. Together they make the most delightful pair. Both are wonderful natured, quirky, and full of fun. When they get excited, they put on the best zoomies imaginable, racing around in great big loops and bringing smiles to everyone watching. Then, true to their lovely sighthound nature, once they’ve had a good run about, they happily take themselves off for a long, cosy nap. They are looking for a home together where they can continue enjoying life side by side. They could live with other dogs if needed. They haven’t been fully cat tested, but so far they have shown absolutely no interest in the cats, and this could be explored further. They are looking for a home with children aged 14+ as they can still be a little shy when meeting new people. A truly special pair who will bring double the love, double the fun, and double the snoozes.

Arthur came into our care after being surrendered. He was very skinny and his coat was dirty and greasy and he was covered in sores. He’s now gained over 3kg and his coat is shinny and healthy and all his sores are healed. He has a lot of scars all over his body and has not had a great life but all that is changing. He's very loving and friendly. He loves other dogs. He loves food and treats. Walks great on a lead. He is house trained. Will make someone an amazing companion. Arthur needs an active home with people who like plenty of walks. Would probably suit a family because he loves being around people. He would also be happy to share a home with a confident resident dog. Would advise not living with cats or small furries. Any new home must have a very secure garden because he can climb fences. So at least 6ft without any edging or anything that is easy for him to climb. He is in foster at the moment and we will update you once we know more. He has the sweetest temperament and needs a loving home to spend the rest of his life in with people who will love him forever. If you'd like to offer Arthur a forever home, please fill in our online application form. If you're successful you will receive an email from us (please check your spam), have a home check, then we invite you to meet the dog. Please answer every question in full and what we ask for otherwise your application will be deleted straight away. (Inc proof from your landlord if renting).

Stunning Bow is a beautiful blue in colour, he’s super excitable and nothing is done slowly or gently. We would hope that when he settles into a home environment he will calm nicely, everything is just so fun and exciting, so exciting that he doesn’t know what to do with himself.Bow is very friendly with people and would make a great adventuring companion.We are looking for a home with experience of owning similar breeds, an active lifestyle will be essential as Bow wouldn’t currently be satisfied with a sedate lifestyle and a short walk each day.A home without small pets will be required, a home with another compatible dog may be a possibility.Any children living within the home or regularly visiting would need to be 10 years+, we have no previous history for Bow and he’s like a rocket with a whippy tail.

Beautiful Breeze came into our care as a stray from the pound. We don't know anything about her past but what we do know is that she's an absolute sweetheart!We believe that she is around 6 years old, and it is clear that she suffered in her previous life. Our vet confirmed that sadly, she was used over and over again for breeding and due to a poor diet and lifestyle, almost half of her teeth needed to be removed. Now that she has recovered from her surgery, she is ready to find her forever home.Despite her past traumas, Whippet X Lurcher Breeze is loving, affectionate and wants to be around her people as much as possible. She loves going for nice, long walks and then spending the rest of the day relaxing. Although she loves human company, she can be left for short periods and house training has gone very well so far in her foster home.Given her breed, she cannot live with cats or small furries. She has been happy to meet other dogs on walks, so we're happy to consider homes with other four-legged residents providing introductions are successful. We would be happy for Breeze to share her home with children over 8 years old.We're committed to finding Breeze the happy ever after she deserves. If you think you can offer her the life she has always dreamed of, please register your interest below.

Buddy is a very fearful boy, who requires a very quite more rural home with no children as he will snap if he gets really scared.Buddy is a very fearful boy, who requires a very quite more rural home with no children as he will snap if he gets really scared. He would likely need potential adopters to visit more than once as it takes him quite a while to warm up to new people. Once he got used to me, he became very cuddly and affectionate and will follow me everywhere if i let him. He is currently working on going for short walks on a harness, he is terrified of the leads around his neck and will panic and thrash about. But he is doing well on the harness and is growing in confidence. He will need alot of time, patience and understanding. He will now walk on a slip lead for me as he trusts me, be wont walk on a slip lead for anyone else, so a harness would be required.

Harriet Harriet is a stunning 4 year old whippet x saluki/collie who was sadly returned to us recently after 2 years in a home. Unfortunately the family had a baby with additional needs and didn't feel like it was fair on Harriet. Harriet is a sweet, sweet soul. She's settled back happily with us in the kennels

Hatchi is a lovely boy seeking a suitable forever home.Hatchi is a beautiful boy who has been through a few homes in his young life before we got him, so we would love to find him his forever home. His recent owner had to surrender him through no fault of Hatchi or the family, they had a change in family circumstances. Hatchi is a very sweet boy, he is good with people and loves attention, he can be shy with some people at first but he comes around very quickly. He would be best in a home with kids 12yrs and over.Hatchi is ok with other dogs, but he can be anxious which can cause him to be very vocal and scared of some dogs until he gets used to them. He much prefers dogs who arent in his face all the time. In our home he is currently sharing with two other dogs no problem. So could potentially live with another dog pending successful meet and greet.Hatchi is naturally a more nervous boy in general, so will need a patient loving home willing to give him time to settle in. He settled in to our home very quickly, but every home is different. He walks well on the lead, but again due to being nervous he would likely react if an offlead dog was to run up into his space. He just hasnt had alot of socialisation, so will take time to learn and grow in confidence. But we are seeing improvements every day. In the house he is very happy and well behaved, outside of the house he is very anxious and is working on this, but it is something that his new family will have to continue working on. (We can offcourse cover training support no problem, to help him become the best boy he can be.) A more rural and calm area would be best, he definately wouldnt suit a built up and busy living area.Hatchi has been quite settled in our home, not destructive or anything. He is also happy to sleep in a crate overnight if required. But he will need some house training initally, as he settles and adjusts to a new home and routine.

Meet Jeff Jeff is a 9-month-old Whippet cross with a gentle, sensitive soul. Naturally shy and nervous at first, Jeff takes a little time to trust, but once he knows you, his fun, mischievous personality begins to shine through. Every day he is growing in confidence and learning more about the world around him. He is beginning to walk well on the lead and is proving to be a lovely natured young boy who simply needs patience, reassurance, and kindness. Jeff could share his home with another dog and, in fact, we feel this would really help him continue to build confidence. With careful introductions, he could also potentially live with cats. We are looking for a settled, understanding home with children aged 14+ who can help this sweet boy continue to blossom into the happy, confident dog we know he can become

Safe Rescue For Dogs

Looby Lou is a small to medium whippet -ish crossbreed aged around three to four years old. Living with a cat. Needs resident dog(s). Respectful children 12 plus. A few years ago a mum and two pups turned up at the gate of Crivatu. Just some of many dumped there over the years. They were tempted through the gates and into the safety of the shelter with trails of food. They were wary little dogs that took a while to trust humans. The mother, Maria, and sister Bella, were more confident and adopted in the UK some time ago. Looby was aloof and not so friendly until very recently. Now is her turn to at last come to the UK and find a new home. Looby is loving being in a home environment. She’s still becoming accustomed to some things that other dogs take for granted but her tail is wagging with delight most of the time! She is a sweet and affectionate girl once given time to get to know you and will continue to flourish in the weeks ahead. She will need at least one other dog in her forever home, she is very sweet with the safe rescue cat and will wag her tail and gently nose bump him. She’s an absolute delight and just needs to be given a little time to trust new people. She will need a calm home environment with no children under the age of twelve.Looby-Lou fostered Norwich NorfolkAdoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: £430. Un-neutered puppies on spay/neuter contracts: £530 (You will receive a £100 rebate once you send us proof of neutering). Senior dogs (10+ years): £150–£250 (depending on age and individual needs).When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations might upset your dog. If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way to prevent your dog from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and for you to know your dog fully (longer for nervous dogs). The slip lead must ALWAYS be used during this settling-in period. Even after your dog is settled, it is safest to use the slip lead in situations where your dog may become scared (e.g. visiting new places, around unfamiliar people, at the vet), and it situations where unexpected triggers might happen (e.g. around bonfire night). Nervous dogs may always need to wear a slip-lead as a back-up safety measure. The slip lead is a safety device and must NEVER be used as a training tool. Using the lead to apply pressure to the dog’s neck is damaging. If your dog pulls on the lead, then we can advise you on training methods that avoid harm. Once your dog is settled, you may want to consider using a harness (together with the slip lead) if your dog is comfortable with being handled when it is fitted. Most harnesses are not escape-proof, but harnesses with a strap behind the ribcage (e.g. Ruffwear Webmaster or Perfect Fit Harnesses) are safer. Retractable / extendable leads must never be used on our dogs. Adopted dogs must be collected from the rescue and transported straight home in a secure metal crate. Fences and gates must be 5foot minimum in height and secure.

Meet super gorgeous 1-2 year old staff/whippet/grey girl, LuLu! She is:Super smart, trainable, and keen to pleaseA lovely size, 23” at the shoulderAdores people and kids; a total cuddle bug with a fantastic sense of humourHouse trained, steady around stock (horses, sheep, chickens), basic obedience training, nailing the heel work on and off lead; recall with distraction is work in progressSuper polite with all the dogs we have met on and off lead, dogs and bitches, from miniatures to giant breeds, nervous or playfulPretty much bomb-proof and unflappable, not gun-shyA pup this special with so much to offer does have some extra needs. One good walk a day isn’t enough for this little pocket rocket, and she will need specialist fencing in the garden as she can scale full height walls and fences with ease. LuLu likes to have a job and be on the go all day, including around 4 hours’ off-lead exercise over a distance of 14 miles to keep her sane and happy.Interval training is still work in progress and the 1 hour mark seems to be a sticking point. However she does sleep through the night in her own bed without any issues.LuLu will be the perfect partner for someone into CaniX, fly ball, agility etc. or a fantastic farm, stables, or Tradey’s dog. If she’s with me in foster much longer I will be taking her to a canine athletics club to try her paw at a few different sports.LuLu has had enough disruption in her short life so we need to find the perfect fit for her. She is in foster in South Oxfordshire.Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated
