Hi everyone, my name is Ichabod. I also respond to Icki, which is kind of a strange name, but Ichabod seems to suit me. I am 7 years old, and in excellent health. I am with WRAP because my people became too ill to care for me and my housemates. My foster mom says I am super sweet and gentle, and I get along with most dogs and every human I’ve met. I was only recently neutered, so I am sometimes a little “full of myself” still. I am working through some separation anxiety, and would probably do best in a house with a female whippet to keep me company and keep me in line. I’m also still learning about going outside when I need to pee, but my foster mom says I am getting way better. I love to run, but I would also be a very good walking companion. I bond quickly and easily to humans, and I love to sleep on the bed with you. I’m very attached to my crate and consider it my safe space for a nap. If you would like a friend like me, I would love to meet you! (Probably not cat safe!)

Meet Maxx. This energetic puppy loves everyone and everything, he clearly loves and lives his life to the fullest. He loves people, other dogs, kids, and ok with cats! He needs an active owner or family with a fenced yard to play in! He is crate and leash trained, annd loves his toys. He will be leaving Wrap on a neuter contract as we feel he needs to be at least a year to mature. You must be within driving distance to Florida to be considered as WRAP does not ship. Someone or family will be very lucky to give this boy a home, he has many years of love to give back. He was surrendered to us thru no fault of his own. A member of his family became severely allergic to him. He is UTD on all vaccinations and is Heart worm negative and on preventive as well as worm free. Please if you are interested in Maxx send in a application from the site to be considered

ADOPTION PENDING – Sam – 2 year old male – Kansas City, MO

Name of Whippet, Location: ADOPTION PENDING – Sam – 2 year old male – Kansas City, MO
Location Category: Missouri
Name of foster volunteer: Sam
Email: ducktracey@duck.com     Phone:
Address: Kansas City, MO

Sam is a handsome and petite boy, weighing just 26 pounds.

Sam came to WRAP with a broken leg and had a surgical repair. He is finishing up with his recovery. He will soon be ready to go to his forever family. Sam is doing great in his foster home and loves spending time with his greyhound foster siblings. He is sweet and adorable with a big, funny personality. He loves the backyard, cuddling, and toys. We do not yet know if Sam is cat-safe. Sam has no experience with children but he seems nervous when he encounters them on walks.

The ideal family for Sam will:
*Be in the Kansas City area, within 1 hour of Liberty, MO where he will need at least one follow up vet visit.
*Have a fenced back yard. He loves spending time laying in the grass.
*Have a dog to be his companion.
*Be patient. Sam was very timid when he came into his foster family but has become relaxed, happy and comfortable at home. However, meeting new people and dogs or going to new places are all still scary for him. He’ll need someone who can be calm and patient with him as he acclimates in his new home. He’ll need someone to make him feel safe when he visits new places or meets new people.
*Not take him on lots of car rides. Sam finds car rides scary. He prefers to be held and comforted by a passenger. We assume, like other things, in time this will get better.
*Take him on walks – Walks are an important part of Sam’s recovery to build strength in his leg.
*Love cuddles. Sam needs to burrow under covers and cuddle up to his people. While he spends part of the night sleeping in a dog bed or his crate, at times he needs to sleep with his people.
*Have room for a crate. Sam finds great comfort in having a crate to relax in. When he’s not cuddling or lounging in the yard, he often chooses to nap in his crate….which he fills with his favorite toys.
*Have lots of love to give to this very sweet little boy.

Only applications in the KC-area will be considered.

Hi everyone, my name is Marcia Marcia, my litter was named after the Brady Bunch! I am 13 years young, and in excellent health, except for a growth on my foot that needs to be monitored. It doesn’t interfere with my mobility at all. I was rescued after my people became ill and couldn’t keep me and my housemates, and I am still a little skittish about meeting new people and being touched. I get along great with other dogs though. My foster mom says I am a big girl for a whippet, but she means I’m big-boned, not that I’m super overweight (okay, mom says I could lose a few pounds too). I’m 46 pounds, black and white parti-color, and I really like couch cuddles when I get to know you, and I’m always interested in what you are eating. I am good in the house and don’t seem to have separation anxiety. It would be great to have a spoiled princess home for the rest of my life!
