Text or email only located in Palmdale approved for same-day adoption (661)609-2186 memeco635@gmail.com Hello everyone, my name is Mahali and I am a bait dog survivor from Northern California. I was tortured and abused, and although my rescuer didn’t have space she took me in knowing I was very sick and weak, I suffered more so from physical injuries, I had a wire embedded in my neck and it took a couple of vet visits to get the wire safely removed out of my neck. It has been a slow and long healing journey. I never lost my spark or my love of people and life, but for the longest time leashes made me nervous. I acclimated to rescue life pretty easily. There were plenty of friends for me to get along with lots of toys and a lot of people coming to visit to socialize me. I’m great with babies. I love kids of all ages. I adore other dogs and I like cats as long as they’re friendly I would make a great companion for any family dynamic. My neck is almost completely healed so I’m just waiting for that special family to fall in love with me and take me home. I am approved for same-day adoption so if you come and meet me and I swoon you with my puppy dog eyes, you can take me home same day. please contact my rescuer with her contact info above my story to schedule a time to meet with me I will be eagerly waiting for a forever home of my own, where I will never have to endure abuse again I have so much love to give!

Story
Hello, my name is RAH RAH and I am a young 9 month old girl with a curious and playful spirit! I came from someone who had too many dogs and ended up with the nice people at Downtown Dog Rescue. I think I look like a whippet/pit mix and will weigh about 40 lbs when i'm full grown. I am still just a youngster and would love to be in a home with a family who can provide me with the patience, love, and care that I need as I grow and learn. Here's a video of me with a trainer on my first visit to the local park getting to explore the world around me. I was a little scared at first but quickly came out of my puppy shell https://www.instagram.com/p/DCHZZIUv5Am/ I am spayed, microchipped, and current on my shots. If you are looking to add a new member to your family, I would love to meet you! Please fill out out our brief application at https://downtowndogrescue.org/adoption-questionnaire and we will get back to you!

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!
