Our Featured Pet...

Like our last featured pet, Tina, Gemstone is another mill baby that needs alot of help. Gem was surrendered by a pet store when nobody would buy her due to her being lame. Gemstone has 2 luxated patellas, her left knee is very bad, the patella is detached and will require surgery to even get it back in the groove. Her right knee pops in and out very easily, so both legs are going to require surgery to repair. As if all that wasn't bad enough, Gem also has a broken front leg that's going to require surgery to fix the bone, poor baby just hasn't gotten a break in her life so far, and she's just 4 months old! We are are urgently seeking donations to pay for the surgeries she's going to need to insure she can live a quality life and get a forever home. She was named Gemstone because, while right now she's a bit rough, ragged, and scruffy, she's going to polish into a beautiful, loving, cherished Gemstone that's precious above all others! Please help us make sure we can get Gem all the help she's going to need! Contact us on how you can make donations directly to us, or to our vet. Donations are tax deductable.

News

This winter we really need some good coats in small sizes for our rescue iggies, we've taken on many more then have made it to our petfinder page, and we always need collars, martingles, leashes, harnesses, coats, and other supplies for every single dog we take in. If you have any extras your dog no longer uses, let us know and we'll put them to good use!

Who We Are

We are a sighthound rescue that officially started taking in dogs in November of 2005. The rescue was then officially founded in August of 2006. We focus mainly on getting Italian Greyhounds and Afghan Hounds out of puppy mills and back yard breeders, but we will help find good homes for any sight hound, including but not limited to Whippets, Salukis, Borzoi, Greyhounds, and most other sighthounds and sighthound mixes, and when we have the room we will take in other breeds. As of June 2009, we are partners with the AHCA for Afghan Hound Rescue and are the contact for Sphynx cats for Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and Northern Arizona. If you have a Sphynx cat, Italian Greyhound or Sight hound that you need help finding a new home for, or are looking for a sight hound, please contact us and if we don't have anything available we can either put you on our waiting list or send you to another rescue that may have what you're looking for.

We are always willing to talk with people who are wanting and Italian Greyhound or other sight hound and teach them about these wonderful dogs, and help them find the right dog for them if they qualify. We also work to educate the public, and are always willing to try to help out in any way we can to try to make things work and keep these dogs in their homes instead of having to rehome them. If you need some help with your IG or other small dog or sight hound, please contact us, we're always happy to help!!!

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, have their teeth cleaned if needed, microchipped, UTD on shots, heart worm tested and started on prevention, and had any other medical problems they may have treated by our vet and been given a clean bill of health prior to placement. We also send our dogs home with a martingale collar and 4' leash. Our adoption fees are normally as follows.
Puppies under 6 months - $400 - $500
Puppies 6 months to a year - $350 - $400
Adult dogs - $300 - $350
Special needs/seniors - Adoption fees start at $250, but will vary based on age and/or the circumstances, those that will need continued vet will be less then $250. We also offer reduced adoption fees when adopting more then 1 IG at the same time. Our adoption fees are higher on our puppies because they are easy to place, and we use the excess to be able to afford the care for our special needs cases where vet bills on an individual dog often exceed $1000. We put an average of at least $350 a piece into each and every dog that comes into rescue between dentals, shots, heartworm testing, blood work, spay/neuter, microchipping, and everything else they need while in our care, and often exceed this limit, especially on older dogs!!!

We also now offer Premier collars and leashes to the public and adopters. A set with a tag collar, martingale collar, and your choice of a 4' or a 6' leash can be purchased for $20. We also offer this products individually, as well as harnesses, break away collars, Gentle Leaders, car restraints, coats, beds, and other supplies. We also recently joined with a company that supplies us with quality crates and exercise pens, and we're offering those to the public as well cheaper then you can get them at Petsmart or Petco, we sell them in sizes from 24" long to the huge 48" long, and exercise pens in 24", 36", or 48" heights. For more information, call or e-mail us.

Adopting a friend

If you're interested in adopting any of our adoptable pets or wish to be put on a waiting list if we don't currently have what you're looking for available, please contact us and we'll send you out our pre-adoption application and get the process started. We occasionally have IGs either waiting to come into rescue or in foster homes that we haven't had a chance to get listed yet. You can also learn more about the breed and meet other adopters on our yahoo group. Click here to join IggyPalaceRescue

How to help out

We use Patented Kuranda Dog Beds because they are durable, chew proof and easy to clean. If you would like to donate a bed to us, click here.

We can also use blankets, cordless heating pads(IGs are wimps in the winters, we like to use cordless heating pads that you warm in the microwave in thier crates just for thier own comfort), Petsmart or Petco gift cards, collars and leashes, and crates, especially wire and soft crates in all sizes!!!!

Come Visit Us!

All of our adoptable pets are in foster homes, we don't have a physical shelter. We believe it's important for our rescued pets to be in a home and learn to be part of a family so when an adoptive family comes along the transition is as easy as possible for everyone involved. Please be patient with us if the dog you're interested in is being fostered in an outside foster home, it may take a few days to a week to arrange everyone's schedules so you can meet the dog.
