Current Rescues

Recent Rescues The amazing - SHADOW! Shadow is a six-year old blue brindle and white parti-color neutered male. He has found his forever home with Susan Moore and is enjoying visiting her office every day and greeting clients. Shadow, who is a very mellow, quiet guy, is also spending lots of quality couch time, under his blanket, in the Moore home, cuddling with his indoor kitty siblings. ADOPTED! If you are interested in adopting a rescue whippet, and have the space and time to act as a foster home for the NCWFA, do consider signing on for this, in addition to applying to be a rescue home. Foster homes provide housing, tempermant evaluation, care and love to those rescue whippets who need a bit of time before they go on to their permanent homes. Foster homes always have the right of first refusal on any dog they foster. Signing up to be a foster home is a quick process, requiring an interview and a home check (experience with whippets is preferred, and past dog ownership is essential), and once you've signed up - you never know - the right dog who needs evaluation and time may come along, we may call on you, lightening may strike, and you may end up with a great foster whippet who stays on forever! If you would like to act as a foster home for the NCWFA, please e-mail ncwfarescue@sbcglobal.net and we will be talking to you!

The NCWFA Rescue Team would like to salute our great Club members and friends who worked so hard with us to help find homes for all of our 2009 Rescues, Private Rehomes, and Breeder/Owner Returns - Jamie, Patch, Miso, Joplin, Emma, Buddy, Miracle Casey, Winston, SkyeDancer,Cooper, Mr. Willow, Luca, Wesley, Mickey, and Mini-Molly too, are all in their forever homes, thanks to our great networkers, supporters, foster and adoptive homes! Starting off strong (and busy) for 2010, Jackie, Layla, and Scorch, all placed and happy in their forever homes!

If you would like to have your info on file with us for a future whippet in need, please submit an application. New whippets can enter the Rescue program at any time. Please fill out an application if you are interested in being added to our waiting list of potential adopters. Applicants receive up-to-the-moment notification of rescues arriving in our system, as well as occasional information and updates on whippets and whippet mixes available with other rescue groups and shelters. We do occasionally have a dog who is such a perfect match with an applicant we have on file that they don't even make it onto our webpage, so it is strongly suggested that you fill out an application so we have it on hand in case lightening strikes!

We are also always seeking caring foster homes for whippets in need. If you are interested in becoming a foster home, contact Guin Borstel, Kellee Livingston, Delia Zarges and Donna Wilhoyte, of the NCWFA Rescue Team, at (ncwfarescue@sbcglobal.net) Please also visit our Rescue Gallery to see photos of some of our past rescue alumni (not currently available).
