Sandy is a sweet, 2 year-old female whippet. She is loving and quirky, but can be a bit stoic. Don’t let that fool you because she is watching everything that is going on around her. Sandy is tiny (18 pounds) but strong and nimble. She loves playing tug with her soft toys, but is not big on wrestling with other dogs. She tends to be more quiet. Sandy wants to be with her person and participate. She is 95% potty trained (great at signaling) and is learning to walk on a leash. Sandy has done well with her foster pack and with older kids. She barks at small children but is not aggressive and has not been cat tested. Sandy knows how to ride in her crate in the car and has mastered the art of the cozy cave. And like all whippets, Sandy likes to burrow under any blanket. Sandy can jump so she needs a tall fence and another dog for companionship and learning. Even though your counter tops are not safe from her curious nose, Sandy will make a wonderful addition to your pack.

Larry is a darling, 10-month-old male whippet. He is curious and eager to learn, but can be a bit timid at times. Love, encouragement and the occasional treat has helped him gain confidence as he explores this new world. He is working on potty training and walking on a leash. At 23 pounds, he is lean but has a beautiful coat and bright eyes. Larry loves to play with his foster pack and has done well with older kids. He loves to snuggle with you on the couch and under the covers in bed. He is working on his crate training and riding in the car. Larry needs exercise, a tall fence and another dog for companionship and learning. He has limited experience with small children and has not been cat-tested. Larry is finding his voice like any teenager and will tease you from time-to-time. If you have the warmth and devotion, this work-in-progess will make a wonderful addition to your pack.

Name of Whippet, Location: CO Hopper, 2 y/o male, Colorado Springs, CO
Location Category: Colorado
Name of foster volunteer: Sheena Myers

Hopper is a shy, 2-year-old boy looking for a forever home. This quiet boy sometimes catches his foster brother/sister by surprise when he unexpectedly “grumbles,” but for the most part is a very quiet guy. He loves to snuggle with his humans and foster siblings, and is so gentle with his toys. He is learning to use the bell when it is time to go potty outside, and has quickly learned that using the bell also means he gets to lay outside in the sun. Due to his shyness, Hopper would do best with an older whippet companion. He gets along well with his foster siblings, but sometimes can get overwhelmed. He is crate trained, getting more comfortable on the leash and loves to stop and smell the flowers when out on walks! He has been cat-tested and does well with kids.
