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.

Gentle Giants

The tallest breed of dog in the world, there's a lot to love about Irish Wolfhounds. Check out the long history of this breed, how they are as puppies, and additional resources for learning about these gentle giants.

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.

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.

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