Adoptable Italian Greyhounds

Meet Niko - A Beautiful Young Fella



Niko is a beautiful young fella (estimated to be about 1.5 yrs) who came to us with a broken leg.
We don't know his story before that time, nor do we really know how old his break was before we got him, we do know that they had to rebreak the leg to try to repair it properly when we took him to the Orthopedic surgeon.
It's our belief that perhaps Niko had a couple of homes before we got him. This, along with his broken leg has given Niko separation anxiety, though he is showing a tiny bit of improvement, a long road lies ahead for him to overcome some of this.
Niko has been given the go ahead for light walking and physical therapy which includes swimming with his foster Mom and now he is ready to start looking for his forever home!
Here are requirements for Niko's new home.
Having another Italian Greyhound in the home, this we believe will help with his separation anxiety in time.
His person works from home or retired, he won't tolerate being home alone for long hours.
Niko loves going for walks, but he is a bit reactive going for walks when he sees other dogs or even people, so a home must be dedicated to working with him to move past some of these issues.
Niko's broken leg did not heal completely straight, however it is strong, so a home that is looking for a dog to go running/jogging with them will not work, but we do hope he gets to go for long walks and hiking, he is young and very playful!
Adoption Info
As you can imagine, we take the adoption process very seriously. We don’t just give dogs to people who ask. The process to become approved for adoption includes an application, phone interview, and home visit. Once you are approved, and if one of the fosters fits your lifestyle and needs, as determined by the home visit, we will put you in touch with the foster home where you can go to visit the dog. If we don't have a fit, we will put you on a matching list.
The adoption fees are as follows:
Up to 6 months $475
7 Months to 2 Years $425
3 Years to 6 Years $400
7 Years to 9 Years $375
10 years and over $275
These fees are sent to the Italian Greyhound Rescue Fund to offset the cost of medical expenses of the dog being placed, and provide medical care for future rescue dogs. All dogs are up to date on vaccines, HW tested, spayed/nuetered and dentals done as needed.

Meet Little Remy - Sweet & Beautiful Red Sable

Lovely little Remy was found as a stray and was not claimed. She is a beautiful Red Sable and very sweet. Her teeth were in really bad shape when we got her and lost all of her teeth during her dental. It was also clear that something was going on with her eyes and before we were able to get her in to an ophthalmologist her left eye ruptured, it ended up that eye needed to be removed. She is fine with this and no longer is experiencing pain. Her right eye has lens subluxation and she currently takes eye drops and will for always have to have them. She will need occasional visits to the ophthalmologist for that eye to make sure the drops are keeping the eye stable, this is an absolute must.
Remy is house trained as long as you pay attention and ask her to go out to potty. She loves going for walks, she is bossy when its time for her meals and she will let you know if you're taking too long! She likes to sleep on your bed if you would allow her. Since she was a stray we don't have an exact age of Remy but we do estimate her to be about 8-9 years old, her weight is about 10 pounds.
