URGENT - Whippet Rescue UK "Tazo" Lurcher - "A Really Lovely Boy"

9-month-old Tazo has already had at least 3 homes since the day he was born, and he is now in URGENT need of another one. Why might you ask yourself, and what can we say... .product of another unwanted litter, cost of living, etc etc.

Tazo had a health check yesterday (13th October 2026); save for being slightly underweight, the Vets reported that he had no health concerns. The Vets also conducted a Behavioural Assessment; they described Tazo as a "really lovely boy." who is gentle, friendly, but timid and non-reactive to other dogs; if anything, he is nervous of other Dogs.

We haven't yet been able to trace all of Tazo's previous homes; thus we have very limited information about him. However, what we do know is that he is suffering from Separation Anxiety and that this, along with his timidity, are consequential to his insecurity and lack of socialisation with both humans and other Dogs.

What Tazo urgently needs is a Dog, Cat, and child-free home with Adopters whose home/work life balance can meet Tazo's immediate needs and who are ready able and committed to providing Tazo with a home for life. Is that you?

Whippet Rescue UK - Wimbledon Womble - can you help with the cost of his Surgery?

Now safely in our care after being found wandering free, sadly, Wimbledon Womble isn't out of the woods yet. This adorable 5-year-old, sweet-natured petite Whippet x needs specialist Orthopaedic Surgery for injuries to his tendon and hock, As you can see in one of the photographs, Wimbledon Womble is holding the hind leg with the Tendon damage.

The wounds to Wimbledon Womble's shoulder that can be seen in the same photograph are healing well; Womble, who is in a Foster Home in Kent, is currently receiving Hydrotherapy to help aid his mobility, which is currently restricted to 3 legs.

It may already be too late to save Wimbledon Womble's Leg; we simply don't know at this stage. What we do know is that the Surgery will provide Wimbledon Womble with the best possible chance to retain his leg.

Wimbledon Womble's Surgery costs and treatment that he has already received have already been generously discounted by the Veterinary Surgeons who have been treating him since he was found abandoned. The cost of the Surgery, together with treatment for other conditions that Wimbledon Womble also has, is anticipated to be in the region of £4000.00. Here we ask for your help with Donations towards the cost.

Frankie really is a lovable character. He is highly sociable, enjoys meeting people and attention, going for walks, playing fetch, having a run around in a secure field and a splash in the River. Health-wise, Frankie does have a Tumour that we anticipate may not be treatable, but otherwise, Frankie is in fine fettle and the costs of his future Veterinary treatment will be met by Vizsla Rescue.

Frankie is already receiving treatment from Goostrey Lane Vets, Holmes Chapel, CW4 whilst not essential it would be advantageous if the Foster Home could be located in the area in order that Frankie can continue to be treated by them.

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.
