Lola, Phoebe, Gracie

Wendy the whippet is absolutely gorgeous!! :wub:

........ don't miss Pekoes, a lovely young whippet type girlie too :thumbsup:

 

[Macha]

thanks for the reminder; I meant to include Pekoes

you can adopt Irish dogs to the UK if transport can be arranged but you'll probably need backup from a more local rescue - for homecheck/reference and for a rescue place for the dog if the adoption doesn't work out for any reason.

Gorgeous dogs , especially the two Wendys and Gracie :wub:

actually, I THINK I decided Pekoes was too big to be included on a whippet list ... I don't know what size Hugo is but he is described as a whippetX, the latest of a long line of whippetty lurchers at Dunboyne pound, mostly white, friendly male, needs out soon:

Wilma, a fawn whippet bitch (looks pure whippet), is a new addition at http://www.irishanimals.ie//adoptagreyhound.html

Lola and Phoebe are still on the list, still looking for homes

Wilma and Phoebe are still on the homes wanted list

Pekoes (http://www.topdog.ie/showthread.php?t=4617) has been rehomed. Her story had been on this cruelty page; I don't see it know but the other stories are quite horrific, especially the collie ( http://cottagerescue.ie/Cruelty.html )

Lola has a long story at http://www.clareanimalwelfare.net/html/_reality_bites_.html . She is now at a lurcher rescue in England.

Lady, whippet like but with a wiry coat (judging from the photo, a head shot) is in Athlone, waiting for a loving home

I found Pekoes page, which includes several other horror stories (including another whippet who thankfully recovered and found a home):

I'm surprised that Wilma is still looking for a home

She has been joined on the irishanimals listing by another fawn whippety bitch Leona, who they say is smaller than appears in the photo

http://www.irishanimals.ie//adoptagreyhound.html

This black and white pup (whippet or greyhound type lurcher, I don't know what size) will be looking for a home, but right now carers are looking for some help with vet bills to fix a broken leg: http://petsireland.invisionzone.com/index....c=71665&hl=

there was a black and white collie/whippet cross type bitch in Derry pound recently, about 22 in. maybe 4-6 years old, walked well on lead - I don't know if she's gone on to Rainbow or another rescue.

Rainbow is currently advertising a brindle greyhound bitch called "Destiny". She gets on well with other dogs. http://www.rainbowrehoming.com/adopt/dogs_line1.htm

this grey wirehaired lurcher b needs out of Dundalk pound: http://z6.invisionfree.com/Northern_Irelan...ic=3603&hl=

Phoebe, not Pekoes, is the one who is bigger than a whippet. She is still listed at http://www.irishanimals.ie//adoptagreyhound.html as is Leona.

young blue and white Lucy is described as German shepherd/whippet cross who will grow up to be about labrador size: http://www.irishanimals.ie//dublin_homes.html
