There are many ways to own an Afghan Hound, or, rather, to be owned by one. One of the most rewarding ones is to take one that has fallen on hard times. This noble, elegant and independent breed is like no other in so many ways, but in one way all dogs are the same – each deserves to be loved, cared for and to have an adoring family to call their own. You will be repaid a thousand times over with the love of the hound that is destined to be yours.
If you feel you are a special person or family that could offer a home to a rescue Afghan Hound, that you have the patience and dedication to share your world with one, then please fill in the form below to apply for our adoption list.
Owning any breed of dog, there can be times when you feel the need for support. It may be that you simply need advice around breed health, training or behaviour, or want to ask some questions. Whatever the situation, the AHA can be contacted to seek advice on all matters related to the breed, through the Rescue Officer, on the link at the bottom of the page.
Please note:
“Each regional club operates its own rescue section and officers. Both they and we have strict criteria for the acceptance of potential adopters to ensure that each hound is placed in a suitable home. All decisions made by these clubs are final and the AHA will not enter into discussion on any matter arising from another club’s policies or requirements.”
