Please note: There are dogs in rescue that are not shown
on this site. Most dogs that come into the program are
placed in approved homes without ever getting pictured
here. If you are interested in a rescue dog, you should
put in an application with your local rep and then
follow up with him/her. You must complete this
application prior to any contact with the rescue reps.
Please do not waste your time e-mailing or calling if you have
not filled out this application as we need it for
reference when speaking with you. Filling it out will
give you an opportunity to hear about dogs before they
are even featured here.
NOTE ON HOUSEBREAKING: When we say an IG is "housetrained" or doing well
that means we have babygates, use a crate, often don't have carpet
and manage 24/7..please read about the breed. Housetraining is the #1 problem!
SIMON
Simon is a 5 year old male Italian Greyhound who weighs about 10 pounds.
He does great with other dogs. His housetraining and crate training are
excellent. He is very calm and laid back for an Italian Greyhound. His
ideal home would be one where he can sit on someone's lap a LOT. It's
his favorite thing to do. He also likes to go for car rides, play with the
other dogs or just be with his person. Simon is located in Indiana, and will be adopted
in-state or to a neighboring state ONLY. For more info on Simon, email topironhorse2000@hotmail.com
TESSA
Tessa is a 2 year old fawn and white female. She was saved from a life of being a puppy mill mom. She is approximately 19in tall and weighs about 15 lbs. She is very loving and very affectionate. Despite where she came from she is adapting very well to her new foster home. Tessa is great with other IG's and loves to play and run around with them. She is doing well with potty training and still needs a bit of work. At this time she does not understand stairs but is working on it along with navigating wood floors.

He was rescued from a puppy mill. Caleb is about 15 lbs and is
very sturdy. He is doing very well in his foster home. Caleb is
great with other dogs, once let off a lead he will run and play
with them. His potty habits are very good if kept on a schedule.

someone is home he enjoys sitting on the couch or in his crate with
the door open. He is working very hard on learning to walk on a
leash, he is still a bit timid with them. Caleb will do best with a
fenced yard. He is being fostered in the Chicago-land area and will
be adopted out to neighboring states. For more information please

BECKHAM
Beckham is a 6 year old male IG. Overall he is a mid to low energy Iggy.
He loves people and likes stuffies - whether they squeak or not and
he will bury a bone in his blanket. He is OK with other dogs but
gets a bit overwhelmed by over active play or big dogs so possibly
not a good dog park candidate. He would be fine as an only dog.
People really, really are his favorite. He is OK with cats.
Beckham sleeps through the night. Like any good Iggy, he likes to
be covered when he naps. He can be a little shy with brand new
situations but he recovers quickly. Potty habits are normal IG
habits - he is OK with consistant monitoring and is crate trained
and pee pad trained. Beckham's idea of a great day is hanging out
with his people, finding a nice spot to sit in the sun and watch out
the window, and having a stuffie or two nearby. We're working on
basic commands - he knows sit and we are working on others.
Fortunately he can be sweet talked into doing what you want him to
do. All in all, he is a very nice boy. Quite outgoing and very
people oriented. Beckham will make someone a loving, devoted
companion. Beckham is being fostered in the Chicago area and will be adopted in-state or to a neighboring state.

BOOMER
UPDATED
Boomer is a surrendered six year old black and white neutered male. Boomer is large, but not
overweight, for an Italian Greyhound (sometimes called a “Biggy“). He’s about 24 pounds and 18
inches tall. This makes him a very sturdy boy. He’s an affectionate young man who loves to wrap
his arms around your neck as if to say “I love you”! He has the best potty habits of any foster
dog that the current foster parents have ever had. He is crate and leash trained as well.
Boomer would do well as an only dog but likes other small dogs as well. He would do the best
in an environment where he wasn’t left alone for long periods of time. A fenced yard is a must
as well. Boomer is waiting for you in Michigan and will be only be placed in Michigan or
surrounding states.
If you think you can give this sweet boy the wonderful life
he deserves, please contact Lisa at l_clouthier@yahoo.com.

will need a home with limited free rein. We place a belly band
around his waist when we leave and he is always clean when we get
home but he has limited area access. He will need a home where
there is someone home most of the day and are gone not more than 4
or 5 hours at a time. He will need a home with another dog for
companionship. He likes all the things most IGs likes such as
getting under the covers and sleeping next to his humans. Liam is a
tiny boy so no rough and tumble children. Liam would love a home
with interactive humans, another small dog for companionship and

wary of being picked up but once in your arms she loves it! Maggie
likes to follow you around, in and outside. She loves to see whats
going on. Maggie will crate very well especially if you put a treat
in it first! As you can see the trend here is that she loves treats
and is willing to do a lot for them. Maggie is learning to walk on
a leash. She isn't really really good at it yet, but she is getting
there. After all, going from a cage to a home at the age of 5 yrs
there is alot of catching up to do! Maggie loves other dogs, she
isn't sure how to play with them yet but she will run around the
yard and investigate what they are doing. She is a good observer.
She also loves to be in the room with people and the other dogs and
likes to watch the interaction. With some time and patience Maggie
is going to be the love of someone's life and they of her's. She is
a little flower just starting to blossom. A fenced yard is a must.
