Whippets in need Australia

Whippets in need Australia This page is run by Whippet experienced people wanting to highlight whippets in need across Australia.

This page has been created to highlight whippets in need throughout Australia. It is for whippets in need of rescue or currently in rescue looking for a new home. We want this to be a safe environment with NO politics or negativity where people can come and learn about whippets and see what rescue whippets are available around Australia. We welcome rescue groups to contact us to share whippets to

our page. This is not a page for the general public to advertise litters for sale, it is for rescue only. All dogs that appear on this page must be desexed and at this stage, no crossed whippets, any that dont meet these requirements will be removed. If you have a whippet in need, we encourage you to contact us so we can put you in touch with the relevant people in your state. Whippets in need Australia is run by a small group of whippet experienced people who are volunteering their time, please be patient, we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Are you the my pawesome new family? My names Arnott πŸ‘‹ I am very sweet, only 3 months old boy and so excited to learn all the fun things in this world with you. Id love an older doggy brother or sister or could go on my own with humans who are home more often than not. I'm only small im a whippet cross x my mum is also waiting in kennels for a family. That's for another day though.

People who are committed to my ongoing training and socialisation is a big one too.

MISSING: Clayton South VIC.
Morgan has gone missing from owners back yard this afternoon, in the storm from South Clayton Victoria. He is 9 years old, dark brindle and smallish for a whippet. They are very concerned and combing the streets. Please keep an eye out for him, he may be shy or frightened. Call 0417 580 382 please if you have any news.

UPDATE: ON TRIAL!! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ’•

I would like to acknowledge and thank Chevy Lowndes for the tremendous work she did on finding a home for Silk. She worked tirelessly, even when the odds were stacked against her.
The best home has now been found for Silk and he can be part of a loving new family. πŸ’•

UPDATE: (3/4/26)
Sadly the homes we had lined up for Silk have fallen through. This was due to no fault of his own.
Silk is a very good boy who loves life and sniffing around. He just wants a place to call home; could this be you?

SHARING/AVAILABLE: Seeking a loving home for a nearly blind Whippet (Bunyip North VIC)

* Please note, this is not an easy decision for the owner. They are putting Silk's needs ahead of their own and want what is best for him. Please reframe from negative comments. *

Silk is a desexed 8-year-old very loving, loyal whippet who is nearly blind. He needs a calm, safe indoor home where he can feel secure and loved.

Silk is on the larger side, but with regular walks on lead we would hope his weight would improve. That being said, Silk is a gentle, affectionate boy and otherwise healthy. He loves a walk, sniff and play.

His near blindness is not an illness it is purely bad luck. He lost sight but we are told he is the best cuddler.

His current farm environment is no longer suited as it is too big and not ideal now his sight is just about gone, but his vet confirms he can live a happy, full life as a blind dog in a familiar, consistent home.

Silk is good with other dogs and cats and would suit someone home often β€” ideally retired or living a quiet lifestyle.

This rehoming is about finding the right home for a very loved boy.

If you or someone you know is interested, please message us.

Bunyip North, owner is happy to meet up or you can go to his home to meet.

Silk is a gorgeous boy just needs to find his person.
