Whippet Rescue UK

UPDATE - REHOMED TOGETHER! Whippet Rescue UK "The Glasgow Ladies" available for Adoption.

Aged 4 and 11 years old, Bonnie & Stella are two affectionate little Whippets. Bereft of their owner last December, the ladies have been in a Foster Home north of Glasgow where they have proved themselves to be perfect house guests. They travel well in the car, walk well on the lead, save for a high prey drive, there is nothing negative to report.

Even with our offer to cover the future costs of Stella's Veterinary treatment, we are struggling to find the Ladies a home. We remain hopeful that our search for a home where Bonnie and Stella can remain together hasn't come to an end; if we need to separate a pair of Whippets, then this will be the first time in 10 years!

Ideally, the ladies would be best placed in a home with another Whippet of similar age to Bonnie. We always try to source homes within a reasonable distance of where Dogs are fostered, but as no applications have been forthcoming from Scotland or the Counties in England that border it, providing that applicants are prepared to travel and make a series of visits, we will consider applications from other parts of England and Wales.

All enquiries and applications should be made by email to the address below. Please ensure that you include your full name/s, address and telephone number in order that we can contact you.

UPDATE: APPLICATION IN PROGRESS
Whippet Rescue UK "Random Rosie"

New home, new start in time for the New Year???

Now available for Adoption, 6 month old Random Rosie arrived into our care on the 17th December 2025. At such a tender age and to our horror and utter despair, we discovered that Rosie had already had several home failures that we suspect were due to lack of exercise/stimulation.

Rosie is a Lurcher probably Belgian Shepherd x Greyhound with a tad of Whippet!

Whilst Rosie passed our assessment and a health check at our Vets, due to the uncertainty with her past we had to place Rosie into Kennels rather than a Foster Home.

Over the course of the past 12 days whilst at the Kennels, Rosie hasn't shown any adverse reaction to other Dogs or any of the Staff. The Kennels describe Rosie as an adorable, affectionate puppy who just wants love and attention. That was also our experience of Rosie during the 3 hours that we spent with her in which she never put a paw wrong. Whilst prone to bouts of intermittent trembling during her journey to the kennels, Rosie, was responsive to our reassurance. Doubtless, Rosie's nervousness was attributable to her uncertainty/fear of travelling to yet another home.

What Rosie needs now is a permanent home with Adopters who benefit from the experience of Lurchers. We, and the Kennels believe that Rosie would benefit from a calm Sighthound Companion who can help with her socialisation, possibly a Greyhound, given that we predict that Rosie will mature around 23/24 tts. Without doubt, Rosie is going to require an active home with adults who can dedicate themselves to providing Rosie with the training and exercise/stimulation that she has previously been deprived of through no fault of her own.

All applications and requests for further information about Rosie need to be made by email. Please ensure that you include your full name/s, address and telephone number in the email together with a brief outline of your home/work life balance etc. In the first instance, we will be restricting applications to those who reside in Counties surrounding Cheshire and Shropshire in order that applicants can make a series of visits to Rosie.
