Whippet Greyhound

Female, 9 mos
Frederick, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Current Location: Strasburg, VA Estimated date of birth: 7/3/25 Harvest is a gentle soul who wants connection but does not yet trust the process. She will come to her foster mom readily for petting but will be wary when meeting new people. Eventually she will come to you for chin and face scratches, which feels like a big win for her, and she will tolerate calm petting along her sides and back once she feels settled. She moves confidently between the kennel and the fenced yard and does her pottying outside like a champ. She also enjoys playing with her littermates and clearly draws comfort from their presence. That said, Harvest is still fearful of close human approach. If you walk directly toward her, she will circle away inside the pen. Being picked up scares her and she may squeal and potentially snap defensively if forced. For safety, gloves are required for any necessary handling such as crating for vet visits. She is not leash trained yet and will need time before that step is introduced. Harvest requires a fully fenced yard and a calm, patient home. A confident resident dog would help her tremendously. She is a flight risk and needs adopters who understand that progress comes through consistency and calm presence, not force. Harvest is not ready for chaos, but she is ready for the right person.

Whippet Greyhound

Male, 9 mos

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Current Location: Strasburg, VA Estimated date of birth: 7/3/25 Maple is quiet and watchful, taking in the world before deciding how he feels about it. He is still building confidence and does best when following the lead of more confident dogs. He enjoys time in the yard, plays with his littermates, and benefits from predictable routines. Maple is coming around slowly and would greatly benefit from increased one on one human interaction in a settled home. He is not a bold pup, but he is thoughtful and responsive once he feels safe. With time, patience, and gentle guidance, his personality will continue to emerge. Maple’s ideal home is calm and structured, with humans who understand that blossoming takes time. A confident dog companion is strongly preferred, and a fenced yard is recommended to support his safety and confidence. Maple is the kind of pup who will quietly steal your heart once he trusts you.

Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Autumn is a sweet, affectionate girl with a playful spirit and lots of energy. She thrives with regular exercise and loves chasing balls, sticks, and keeping the yard squirrel-free. She’s also very loving and will happily curl up in your lap.She is housebroken, crate trained, and does well in her crate overnight. Autumn enjoys walks and rides calmly in the car. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard where she can safely burn off energy.Autumn does well with older children who are comfortable with an enthusiastic, playful dog and who respect her space. She enjoys other dogs in group settings but thrives best as the only dog at home.Since welcoming a young child, we’ve found her energetic play style can be overwhelming for a toddler. We love her deeply and want to find her a home where she can truly thrive.

Niabi may be a little shy at first, but give her a day, a few tasty treats, and a little patience—and you’ll discover the sweetest velcro girl you could ask for. Once she bonds, she’s all yours, happily sticking by your side through every part of the day.

But once she feels safe, her true personality shines—happy, playful, and full of life! Niabi LOVES to play, and stuffed toys don’t stand a chance in her world—she’ll happily shred them like it’s her full-time job. She’s also got the cutest excitement hops, jumping up in the air when it’s time to eat or go potty. It’s impossible not to smile watching her celebrate the little things. She does great with other dogs and even cats, making her a wonderful addition to a multi-pet home. And when she chooses her person, she loves deeply—staying close, soaking up affection, and giving it right back. Niabi is looking for a patient, understanding home that will let her warm up at her own pace—and in return, she’ll give you a loyal, joyful best friend for life Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
