NOW ON EBAY
JR Whippet Rescue is a nationwide charity with local representatives throughout the UK.
It provides assistance to Whippets who are:
Abandoned, or lost and unclaimed by owners.
Unwanted by owner and threatened with destruction, sale to a dealer or sale/gift to an undesirable home.
Ill-treated or neglected, suffering from mental or physical distress and reported as such by a reliable observer.
Left because owner has died leaving no instructions for his/her dogs, owner having gone into care, or matrimonial breakdown.
To offer a home or advise us of a whippet in need of help, please contact Linda Jones on: 01234 838927 or email: rehoming @ whippetrescue.org.uk
JR Whippet Rescue is ever conscious that it can only function because of the help received from those who so willingly give their time and money in what is an endless task. The smallest contributions are greatly appreciated - and needed.
Précis of History
JR Whippet Rescue was founded in 1971 by Joanna Russell, who was succeeded in 1976 by Elizabeth Adams. Elizabeth campaigned for charitable status which was achieved after her death by Llyn Chapman and Joy Fisher, the then Treasurer. The late Mrs. McKay, who had given support by fostering and transporting rescued animals from the earliest days, became Patron. This position is now held by Mary Browning, the well known animal artist.
Linda Jones, the current Re-homing Organiser, took over from Laurie and Brian Hunt in 1987. Llyn Chapman became Buyer and Stalls Organiser and Joyce Keable is now Treasurer on the retirement of Joy Fisher.
Funding is through donations and proceeds from the stalls and mail order. All those interested can become Friends of the Rescue for a small subscription a year.
