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.

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.

The History of Irish Wolfhounds

As much creatures of legend as they are steadfast companions today, the history of Irish Wolfhounds dates back more than two thousand years. Learn more about the rich story of these dogs. 

That's a Lot of Puppy!

Even at six weeks old, Irish Wolfhounds are the size of full-grown dogs. That's just more of them to love! Check out our gallery to see how quickly these pups go from fitting in your hands to outgrowing your lap.
