About Whippets
The Whippet is a sighthound, a dog that hunts by sight. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as a "small, speedy sighthound traditionally used for racing", says it originated from the Greyhound, and says Whippet racing became popular in the mining areas of the North and Wales, as well as in London and the Midlands.

How many rescue Whippets are available for adoption in West Yorkshire?
As of 14 November 2026, no Whippets are listed for adoption in West Yorkshire on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.
Are there Whippet puppies for sale in West Yorkshire?
No. Rescues rehome Whippets for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. The nearest place with Whippets listed today is Sheffield, about 27 miles away, where each profile shows its rescue's fee.
Can I get a free Whippet to a good home in West Yorkshire, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Fees are set by each rescue: the profiles on Sheffield's Whippets page show them.
