ADOPTED ON 02-03-15 - Faith is a very sweet girl and enjoys the company of other dogs. She will go outside and run fast and furious with her canine companions, and then come in the house and veg out. Her foster mom says she does very well in the house with the other dogs and explores things quietly at her own pace. She enjoys snuggling inside of blankets, as whippets have a very short dense coat and are easily affected by the cold. Faith loves to walk on leash and is very proud of her loose leash walking skills, she prances down the street with grace and ease. Whippets are an extremely sensitive breed both physically and mentally, thus she does not like harsh corrections or yelling.
Faiths northern foster has not had her in the car, but her southern foster said she did just fine in the vehicle. She is house trained, but if something scares her she will pee a little. She does very well with people of all sizes. She is excellent in the crate, and prefers the hard sided crates as they make her feel secure. She will play for long stretches with any big or little dog at my house. Whippets are non-barking dogs, this must be true because her foster mom has never heard her bark.
Faith loves children and will probably sleep with one of the children if possible. She needs a sufficient amount of exercise and she will do well with someone who likes to run and will take her with them. She will also do well playing and being dressed up by children. She will make an excellent family dog. She does not shed and is non-allergic. Faith is a quiet sole, very regal and quiet.
The ideal home for Faith would be one where her new family would be willing to provide her with long walks or runs in order to meet her exercise needs, and afterwards she could snuggle up on the couch for evening TV. Faith would love for her new home to include another dog or dogs to play with and keep her company. This girl is not picky she will play with anyone large or small. Faith would do well in a home with children as well, whippets are known for being extremely patient with children. These dogs are quiet, obedient and loyal. If you think Faith sounds like the right match for you please fill out an adoption application.

About Our Rescue
These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.
Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well
