Lost Whippets!
How do you go about searching for a lost Whippet?
There are more articles at Greytalk. Although the articles talk about finding a Greyhound, they are very relevant for searching for a lost Whippet, or any other Sighthound, as well.
This page is presented as a service to Whippet owners all over - a lost Whippet is of concern to all of us, and the families of these lost pups need all the help they can get to find their Whippets. These Whippets are NOT necessarily WRAP Whippets, but still need to be found. If they can be found and returned to their owners, they will not end up in WRAP on the "Homes Needed" page.
If a Whippet listed here is in your area and you are able, please take the time to call the contact person and offer assistance in finding the dog. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated.
Please note that we do NOT endorse anyone calling these families and offering assistance for a price!!
Postings will be updated when new information is available.
Click on the states below to see where the lost Whippets are located, and contact information for those dogs. The number in parentheses indicates the number of lost Whippets in that state. Thank you, The WRAP Volunteers

Fort Lauderdale, FL
male Whippet lost on 12/23/2008.
Keegan is still lost, but we believe he is in the area - less than a mile from home. His photo is shown below. We spoke with an animal communicator, and she told us that Keegan is not far from home and is in hiding. He was hit by a car - someone in the neighborhood called us from one of the "lost" posters and said she saw him get hit but couldn't catch him. That was on 12/23. We don't know how badly he is hurt.
I'll be putting out more "lost" posters in the area around the RR tracks that run parallel to Andrews Avenue just North of SR 84 and South of Davie Boulevard. The area we are searching is North of SR 84, South of Davie
Blvd., West of Andrews Ave. and East of SW 9th Avenue.
You can reach me at 954-463-6144(home) or 954-816-4895(cell) or wendy@cummins.us if you have any questions or suggestions for us.

Sigma
Our new dog has been gone since 7:30 Saturday morning. He is most likely hiding in a corner or a shed, under a porch, or under bushes. He is very athletic -- Whippets have been known to jump a 6-foot fence. He can run faster than a greyhound. He can't survive outside as it gets colder due to very little body fat. This little guy was just beginning to make progress in our home. He is just a year old and never had a name, so he does not respond real well to "Sigma". However, he was catching onto the word/concept of "treats" pretty quickly.
If you see him, please call the number listed below before you try to approach him. He is very gentle and would not bite; but he would probably take off again. I believe we may be able to get him to come to Ivan, our greyhound. Thank you. 717-940-4702
If found, please contact Richard Glass at 717-940-4702.

Black male Whippet lost on 11/24/2007.
Rio "escaped" on Nov. 24th around 8:00 PM near Melrose Drive and Custer Road in Richardson, TX.
He is neutered, he squats to pee, like a female. He has very little hair and no fat, so he is an indoor dog - especially when the weather is wet and the temp is below 50 or above 90. The night he got out was raining and in the lower 30's, so if he made it, he had a real tough time.
Please feel free to email/call me if you have any information. We would love to find Rio and reunite him with his owner. They are very worried.
