Guest lavendergirl Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 There is a lovely 5 year old whippet boy advertised on Gumtree Brisbane FTGH - not desexed I know there are some keen whippet breeders here - is there a rescue in Brisbane?

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I've spoken at length to the owner, she's only had the dog for a week but he's not getting along with her dog being only a puppy. Someone is comign to look at the dog and I've gone through all the scenarios of what/how to rehome a dog appropriately. The lady also has my phone no/website address as I have people waiting and that of Whippet Rescue in QLD who also have a waiting list. I've done all I can at this point.

Kirislin Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 another one in Dulwich SA? at least it's desexed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 so many whippets around, it's unbelievable. Getwhippet and I have just managed to pull a rabbit out a hat and rehome the two black whippets that were up for rehoming a few months ago in Sydney. Iggy Rescue found them a great home and the owner changed her mind at the last minute, it was only a matter of time before she changed it back again and sure enough, Whippet Rescue got a call at the weekend saying the dogs had to go right now. Incredibly, I had a fantastic application for Dusty & Phoenix that wasn't right for them but was perfect for the black boys and it's all going ahead ...

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Thank you everyone. Re the Whippet in SA, my foster carer sent me the ad and I asked her to look and see if there was an SA Whippet Rescue and she found one and let them know. Hopefully he will be OK.

megan_ Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 whippets seem to be trendy at the moment, which means there will be more and more rehomes in the not-too-distant future. This is why I don't really promote the breeds I love :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snippet Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Dogmad you are a wonderful person and you do a brilliant job for all of these poor whippets. :thumbsup: I really hope they do not become too trendy or the pounds will be full of them.

megan_ Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Tehy just seem popular at the moment - along with Frenchies. They used to be a rare sight, but not any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
