ACTIVITIES

Making A Difference

PATIENT PLEASE

Please be patient with us, you will get a reply just as soon as we are able to.There are no employees and we do not employ Vets, trainers or any other professional people. If a professional needs to be called upon the costs of which must be funded from our Just Whippets Charity Account. Every penny raised goes to help another Whippet or Whippet X in need. In the last year we re homed over 120 Whippets to their new homes. We strive to work in a way that is open, honest, transparent and accountable to our stakeholders.

THE SILENT TEAM

Just Whippets Rescue rely on our “silent team” of wonderful fosterers with our whom we would find it difficult to operate. Our fosterers help us by having a dog to stay in their homes, helping us assess the dogs, caring for them and often working with them on various issues.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY

The Trustees take their responsibilities very seriously. We are very aware of the duty of care that we have both to the Whippets that come into our Care and to the Adoptive Families who take them on. By matching the dogs needing homes with potential new homes on our waiting list, all of which have been thoroughly home checked, we believe we can achieve the best home for the Whippet. Between our Trustees we have over 60 years of Whippet and Whippet X experience and we share that experience in order to do our very best for the dogs.

We aim to care for and re-home as many un-wanted, stray or neglected Whippets or whippets X’s as we can. As well as providing advice and support to current owners.

Every dog adopted from Just Whippets Rescue is:

Microchipped
Vaccinated
Given £50 Neutered voucher. Under no circumstances and with no exceptions is Just Whippets Rescue dogs to be used for breeding.

ALL WHIPPETS

Whippets and Whippet X’s come in as strays, and many different other reasons such as:

the “present” is too much trouble
a new baby arriving
their owners splitting up
they are too old to work
their owners working pattern change
they have a behavioural problem
their owners move house or emigrate
or even a new puppy arrives (so the oldie has to go!)

Whatever the reason Just Whippets Rescue are here to help care for and re home your Whippet or Whippet X.

Unlike many other similar organisations, we maintain contact with the new owner for the remainder of the dog’s like to ensure the dog’s continued well-being. This is via email, newsletters or telephone calls.
