Midwest Italian Greyhound Rescue
We are a rescue organization run by volunteers and representatives of the IGCA (Italian Greyhound Club of America) as well as other groups dedicated to saving lives! We have been oing Italian Greyhound rescue in the Midwest for over 10 years. All our dogs are in foster homes through Southern WI and surrounding areas and placed in WI or neighboring states. IGs in our program come from a variety of sources but most are owner surrenders given up when the family is no longer able to keep their pet. The dogs are fostered in our families until the right home is found. Their personalities and health are evaluated and we try very hard to match each dog to the right situation. If you would like to adopt an Italian Greyhound, the first step is to research the breed to be sure they have the personality and traits you desire in a companion. IGs are wonderful pets but they are not your typical "dog" and many people find them too difficult, demanding and/or high energy. Housetraining requires continuous reinforcement and supervision and they should NEVER be allowed off leash unless they are in a securely fenced area. To learn more about living with Iggys, please visit About the Breed. We prefer a fenced yard for most dogs but we do make exceptions depending on the situation and on each individual dogs needs. Your IG must be an indoor pet and a member of the family and you must be able to devote the necessary time and attention having a dog requries....IGs are very social animals and do not do well left alone too much. The adoption/approval process involves application, references and a home visit to meet the family and other pets and to see the environment....all of this helps us match the right dog to your situation and needs as well as theirs. We want very much to make a satisfactory and successful match and these steps are necessary in order to accomplish that goal. All dogs are spayed or neutered, have been vaccinated, heartworm tested and any other medical needs addressed, including dentals if needed. We provide copies of all medical treatments the dog received while in Rescue. Adopters must sign and adoption agreement ..these donations go to help other dogs. If you would like an application or further information about IGs or about our program, please feel free to contact us....we are always happy to answer any questions you may have.Midwest Italian Greyhound Rescue
