Welcome to DIWA

Who is DIWA?

We are the Desert Irish Wolfhound Association (DIWA), an Arizona-based non-profit organization that facilitates rescues and community engagement and teaching of the amazing animals that Irish Wolfhounds are.

Whether you're a prospective wolfhound parent or long-time lover, we welcome all.

What DIWA Does

Making a Difference

Rehoming

Finding Wolfhounds Loving Homes

Sometimes circumstances require a new home for our furry friends. Because of the disposition of Irish Wolfhounds and their size, taking in a new family member requires thought and funds. DIWA seeks to put pups in the best homes we can.

Learn more and apply to be a potential adopter below.

From potlucks to guests at book signing events, members of DIWA bring their wolfhounds to different events throughout the year. If you love wolfhounds, look into joining today.
