| Rocket came to us as sort of a rescue in April 2009. Long-Haired Whippets are actually a mix of Whippet and Shetland Sheepdog. His previous owners could no longer keep him, so I was helping to find him a home. Local regular Whippet rescue was graciously going to help ship him to the Long-Haired Whippet people in New York. I got him from his old owner, and I was to leave him with Whippet rescue at lure coursing. Even after having him for just 24 hours, it was hard to leave him! Later that evening, I got a call, and they thought he was too frail to make the flight. Plus he was upset when I left him, so I drove back over and picked him up. He is completely blind...rather sad, a sighthound that can't see. He is an extremely quiet, sweet boy who just needs a little love and petting. It only took a few months for him to adapt to our house. He can walk to the back door to go outside, climbs up on our bed, and finds his dinner very nicely (he has gained 3#)! |
