Story
Meet Peggy Sue Peggy Sue is about 6-7 months old, weighs 22 pounds and is a super happy, playful pup! She is very sweet, friendly and as you can see in the video, enjoys exploring and playing. She has 3 legs but it does not stop her one bit. She can run and jump and have a great time in the yard. She favors lying down over sitting. She is a silky coated black beauty. We can see Peggy Sue doing well in a home where she can get lots of attention and playtime with her family. She is curious and also enjoys being held. She has a fun personality and she is very smart. She enjoys playing with toys and other dogs here at the rescue. She is just a fun-loving pup who can’t wait to find a home of her own! She would be a wonderful, loyal companion to grow up in just about any family environment.

Adopting a Whippet

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Whippet - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost of a Whippet can vary depending on several factors, such as breeder reputation, lineage, and location. On average, you can expect to pay between $800 to $2,500 for a Whippet puppy from a reputable breeder. Adoption fees for Whippets from shelters or rescue organizations are typically lower, ranging from $150 to $500.

If you’re interested in adopting a Whippet, there are several options available:

Local animal shelters: Check out your local animal shelters or humane societies. They often have Whippets or Whippet mixes available for adoption.

Breed-specific rescues: Look for Whippet-specific rescue organizations in your area or nationally. They focus on finding homes for Whippets in need of loving families.

Online adoption websites: Websites such as Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet can be great resources to search for Whippets available for adoption in your area.

Remember, adopting a dog is a wonderful way to give a deserving Whippet a second chance at a loving home!

The Whippet is the smallest of the sighthounds, and the most popular sighthound breed in the United States.

The first written mention of the word "Whippet" was in 1610.
