Fannie's Story

****Please do not submit a Petfinder inquiry but rather email us directly at--neigrescue@gmail.com-- if you are interested in adopting or have any questions about Fannie.*****<br/><br/>Fannie is a beautiful 7 year old girl who came from a very unfortunate neglect situation with multiple dogs and little human interaction leaving her a little shy and skittish. She is learning what it means to be a beloved family member.. It took her a couple weeks to learn her new surroundings and routine in her foster home. She especially loves sitting on the couch and getting pets, first thing in the morning. She can be a bit pushy about getting attention at times and will crawl right in your lap and nudge your hands asking for pets. <br/><br/>She enjoys the company of other dogs and will do best with another confident canine companion to help guide her and give her comfort. She is fostering with cats and does well with them, ignoring them. <br/><br/>She is kennel trained and knows how to walk on a leash. She can get frightened while on walks but she does recover fairly quickly. While Fannie is leash trained, she does not like to potty on leash while people can see her. Due to this she absolutely needs a fenced yard so she can potty off leash in privacy. She knows go potty means to go to the backyard door to be let out. She requires a tall, privacy type fence to prevent her from jumping over or climbing if she gets frightened. She does get scared when there is something new while she is outdoors, like the wind blowing, or a tree branch down. <br/><br/>She has some skittish behavior that decreases as she adjusts to her environment and gets comfortable. Loud voices and yelling are 2 things that make her very nervous. Sometimes when things scare her she runs around in a little bit of panic. She typically finds a place where she feels safe and calms down very quickly. She needs an understanding, quiet, calm, patient home to help her overcome any fears she may have. She prefers to sleep in the safety of her kennel at night and will run to her kennel when she gets scared. <br/><br/>Fannie has a great appetite and jumps in excitement at mealtime. She is spayed, had a dental cleaning with extractions, is vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested and on preventative. <br/><br/>Fannie is fostering in Lincoln NE.

Nebraska & Iowa Italian Greyhound Rescue (IGRF)'s Adoption Policy
Research, research, research… Most dogs are in our program because someone did not do their research and got the wrong breed. All dogs are not alike…each breed is different and Italian Greyhounds are not small greyhounds. They are very different than their full size “cousins” in activity level and training. Every breed has a price…some dig, some bark. The price of an Italian Greyhound is housetraining. Housetraining an Italian Greyhound is not impossible but if you have lots of white carpet or have a problem with accidents, then this breed is not for you. Fill out our Online Application at: https://midwestigrescue.com/adoption/adoption-application/ A copy of your application will be emailed to you upon form submission. Please keep your application for your records, in case it’s needed for the foster home, other reps who might have a dog for you, it gets lost, etc. Follow up, follow up, follow up… we are all volunteers and are very busy working with foster dogs, adopters, potential adopters and most of us have a “real” job too. You, the person looking for just one dog will need to do the legwork and follow up on your application. We place lots of dogs, but those that get the dogs are those that are qualified and follow up. Once your application is approved, we will conduct a phone interview where we will talk with you about your application and any questions or concerns we have. The next step is an in-home visit where volunteers may bring one or more of their Italian Greyhounds meet with everyone in the adopting family. We use this visit to learn what the family is looking for in a dog, the safety of the home environment, as well as getting to know any other pets the family may have. After the home visit is completed, we will put you in touch with the foster home of the dog we feel is a good match for you and your lifestyle. The foster home has trained and lived with the dog so this conversation will help both the foster home and you determine if a good match was made. If everything works out, you will continue to work with the foster home to determine the time and place for adoption. Once the adoption date has been set, you’ll want to spend the time you have preparing for your new arrival. All our dogs are crate trained before placement except in extenuating circumstances, so chances are you’ll need to purchase a crate, bowls, dog beds, collar, leash, nail clippers, food, treats, kong and other toys. Adoptions can take between 1 – 3 hours depending on how much information the foster home has for you and if you like to talk about dogs as much as we do! Our foster homes have taken special care of your new family member, usually crate training, obedience training and housetraining. The information they have for you at adoption can be very valuable in making sure the transition to your home is smooth for both you and the dog. Follow up, follow up, follow up… please keep us updated on your Italian Greyhound’s progress. We want to know how things are going before there is a problem. Our foster homes and rescue representatives are always available to help you and your adopted Italian Greyhound over come any training problem. We want the match to work out as much as you do, for your sake and the dog.
