The PVIWC has an active wolfhound rescue/placement program
operating in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. Our program was developed
to find permanent new homes for IWs whose owners are no longer able to care for them, or who are
found in shelters or other temporary accomodations. We
accept wolfhounds of any age.
We have complete medical workups done on all our dogs, and screen the new homes carefully to be
certain the hounds will be well cared-for in their new lives. Medical care includes a
physical, heartworm test and preventative, updated vaccinations and worming as appropriate, and
spaying or neutering. Click here to view our rescue application form if you are interested in
adopting an Irish Wolfhound from us.
If you need to place a hound with us, for whatever reason, please contact the Rescue Chairman
as soon as possible at 703-759-6316. We can arrange for pickup anywhere in Maryland, Virginia or
the District of Columbia. Please contact the club
Rescue Chairman if you need any more information concerning our program.
