Available Rescue Whippets

The Whippets listed here are currently available through WRAP. If none are shown that doesn’t mean we don’t have any Whippets in foster care right now, just that they aren’t ready, so please fill out an application form or contact the Regional Advisor for your area.

An adoption application is required to be submitted before contacting a WRAP foster volunteer about a rescue currently available for adoption. Decisions about adoptions are made by foster volunteers.

Sparky is a neutered 3.5 yr old loving “velcro” whippet who loves to stay by your side. He shows promise as an agility dog or barn hunter. He likes his down time too and is happiest on the couch next to you. He is crate trained and is cat friendly and doesn’t seem interested in cats, but should be properly introduced to dog-savvy cats. He loves to be the center of attention and pampered. Give him the chance and he will be the best bed warmer ever. Excellent health. He needs a fenced yard of at least 5 feet. We will consider WA or OR homes.

Callie is a 12-1/2 year old, spayed, red brindle girl. She has a very nice temperament, she is heartworm & lyme negative and she is up to date on vaccines. She has been fully vetted by WRAP and is ready to go to her new home. Callie has a heart murmur, which will have to be checked/ultrasounded periodically to determine if she should start meds. Right now she is not on meds for this condition. Callie would love a nice comfy couch, (altho she likes her persons lap), a yard with a fence, a sighthound experienced home within two hours driving distance of Douglas, MA. Callie has been bounced around a lot in her life to several different homes due to circumstances that were not her fault, so we would like to have her next home be her final home. If you meet all these requirements and are interested in becoming Callie’s forever home, please fill out an application from the WRAP site.

Available for Adoption: Ralph, 4 years old, male, Chicagoland area, IL

Ralph is approximately 4 years old, mostly solid black that came from a hoarding situation. He and 18 other whippets were living all together isolated from the normal outside world. These dogs unfortunately have never been properly socialized so are slowly coming out of their shells with time and lots of patience and understanding Ralph is outgoing and leash trained. He would do just fine in a home without any other dogs, or if the resident dog was submissive and not a threat to him, but NO cats. He seems to be somewhat confident on his own. Due to the circumstances Ralph and all of the whippets have lived in, they certainly will require a safe and structured home and we feel would not be suitable with children under 10. Currently Ralph is in a foster home, so that he can get used to new sounds and activities that are in a home and enjoy the outside world. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines. Ralph is crate trained and potty trained. Ralph would like a fenced in yard to play in, this is not a mandatory requirement as he likes to be walked on a leash. If you think that you would be able to provide a proper home and meet the qualifications, please fill out an application. Please note at this time we are only considering homes that are no more than four hours from the Chicagoland area.
