UP FOR ADOPTION 2 : ADOPTED !

This is an image from Saturday 19 March, filling a missing day from earlier in the week.

We've been looking to rescue a dog for a few weeks and visited a rescue centre today.

A couple of weeks ago we saw an old greyhound in a rescue centre (see link below)

Today we visited another rescue centre and found a lovely little whippet :) . We took her a long walk in the fields next to the rescue centre and within a few minutes we knew we had to rescue her :)

She has 'kennel cough' and a minor wound on her head, but she will soon be getting lots of TLC :)

We told the centre we want to adopt her and have started the adoption process. We now have to attend an interview to see if we are suitable for her and if we pass she is ours to adopt !

I'll keep you informed on how we get on !
He's beautiful

She looks beautifully muscled. Will she require lots of exercise?
March 20th, 2011  
Yay! I am so glad she has found a wonderful home! She is a beauty

Oh bless - I love whippets and as a plus point they don't weigh much and are, therefore, less likely to jog your arm when taking photos (a dog characteristic we failed to consider properly!!)

Excellent. Good look with the process, I'm sure it will be smooth - a secure garden is usually a requirement.

@allie912 Allison, thanks for the comments, we had a whippet for 13 years, whippets / greyhounds / lutchers like to laze around on the furniture , but they also love a nice long walk and a bit of a run :). I think we can do all those :)

@cath Thanks Catherine, she does look lovely. :)

@judithg Judith, thanks for your words, whippets can be hard to photograph too, they are quite lively when out ! , plus she's black, getting detail in blackk is almost as hard as white . I'm sure I will manage a few decent shots and just like Monty, I think she might make the odd appearance or two on here :)
