Celia Cross Greyhound Trust
This rescue, based in West Clandon, rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes around 200 dogs each year.

RSPCA Millbrook Animal Centre
We are all aware of the RCPCA. As the name suggests, this particular center rehomes animals of all types and breeds.

Though, you may need to wait for one to become available if you go through this rescue
Lastly
That’s your lot, I’m afraid.
Though these are the best chances you have of rescuing a whippet in Surrey, specifically.
Though as none are whippet specific, you will likely need to be patient unless you are willing to look cross-county or even nationwide.
And do consider that you might have to go through some checks before you get to bring your dog home. Just to ensure it’s a good match and you can safely look after this particular breed.
Oh and also consider you may need to pay an adoption fee – which is usually in the £100-£250 range, on average.
While the whippet is a fantastic dog to own and care for, do consider they are not for everyone.

Hello. I’m Luke- the founder of WhippetCentral. I’m somewhat of a whippet nut and have been for most of my life. In that time, I’ve owned and raised numerous whippets. Bonnie is my latest girl; she is currently eight years old and keeps me very busy! Understanding the need for whippet-specific content, I decided to create this blog to share what I have learned and to share my expertise regarding owning and raising whippets – the right way!
