How to Surrender a Whippet to WRAP
Sometimes life deals you events that make it impossible to provide the kind of home your Whippet needs. We’ve seen disaster strike families all too frequently in recent years where it became impossible to provide for a beloved Whippet. This is when you call on WRAP to help.
WRAP’s extensive all-volunteer network provides assistance to Whippet owners who find it necessary to place their beloved pet. Contact a volunteer in your area and they will walk you through what is needed to get your Whippet into foster care in preparation to finding him or her a new, loving forever home.
Some things you will be asked to provide include:
- Health Record including dates of last inoculations, vet checks, health history and rabies vaccination so we can continue to provide veterinary care.
- A signed owner surrender form. This gives WRAP your permission to find a new home for your dog.
- If your Whippet is currently on medication for a health condition, any remaining medicines you might have.
Reputable Whippet breeders typically have signed purchase agreements with buyers. If you have not contacted your reputable breeder WRAP will contact American Whippet Club members in good standing who may be the breeder of the surrendered Whippet. All AWC members must sign and abide by a Code of Conduct which states: “All breeder s shall accept the responsibility for each Whippet bred by them for its lifetime. Should a Whippet of their breeding turn up in a rescue situation, each member should do whatever is necessary to ensure the welfare of the dog, either retrieving the dog personally or assisting rescue in every way possible.”
