Fortunately, there are not very many dogs in whippet rescue nationally at any one time.
Whippet breeders are a close-knit community and take great care in placing their puppies.
If more national breed clubs had these requirements, the world of dogs would be a happier place. Whippets have one of the best rescue organizations in purebred dogs, and the communication between the national rescue coordinator and her rescuers is outstanding. This means you don't have to call every whippet rescuer in the country to find out whether a rescued whippet is available in your part of the country. For the rescuer nearest you, go to the American Whippet Club's rescue contacts page or contact Peggy Bush , the national coordinator. You will be asked to fill out an adoption questionnaire.
