OUR RESCUE PARTNERS

We have solid partnerships with trusted overseas rescues and organisations, as well as those in the UK. This means that our rescued Chinese Greyhounds and other dogs breeds can find homes in other parts of the world as well as the UK. Ultimately, this means we can save more dogs from the meat trade in China.

All of our animals receive appropriate medical attention and are behaviourally assessed before homing. Every animal is health checked, vaccinated, treated for parasites, micro-chipped and neutered.

We provide full life time back up for all our adopted animals and therefore we only rehome within the West Midlands area.

Galgos Del Sol (Spain)

Galgos del Sol is a large rescue based in Murcia, Spain that rescues abandoned and injured galgos (Spanish hunting greyhounds), rehabilitates them and finds them forever homes in the UK, US and Belgium. Thousands of galgos are abandoned or killed annually at the end of each short hunting season and as they are not always viewed as potential pets in Spain, they usually end up in perreras (pounds), where their lives are ended, often not in ways we would consider humane. Galgos del Sol is entirely dependent on fundraising for its survival and is run founder, Tina Solera, assisted by a group of dedicated volunteers based in Spain, USA, Belgium and the UK.

Northampton Homes for Hounds (UK)

Northampton Homes for Hounds began as a spin-off from Northants Greyhound Rescue, when we started to take in other dogs from the UK and from abroad that desperately needed our help. We have a policy of non-destruction, unless to prevent incurable suffering. All of our dogs remain with us for however long it takes to find them the right home. The majority are placed very quickly; others may stay with us for some months.

Whippet Hilfe (Germany)

After almost 20 years of active animal welfare work, it was now time to found our own breed-specialized association.
Especially with whippets, it is often not easy to choose the right platform to find a suitable new home.
And so we were contacted more and more often to assist with placements or to take in dogs.
Our active team introduces itself in detail under the heading The Whippet Help Team.

Furthermore, we have a network of whippet-experienced people throughout Germany who are at our side with words and deeds.

We are always happy to welcome other like-minded people who would like to support us. Gladly in the active work of the association or as a sponsor, e.g. for the medical care of dogs that live in volunteer foster families.

Here on the website in the “Around the Whippet” section and on our Facebook page, we also share joint activities, such as walks or exercise opportunities, where you can also get to know each other personally and make contacts.

We are excited to see how our project will develop and hope to be able to help many people and their whippets.

Yours, Bettina Kalmbach
