Adoption
Available IGs in Wisconsin
Please see our Adoption Process page to familiarize yourself with our adoption steps. Our adoption process of written application, interview, and home visit yields a very high percentage of successful adoptions and helps prepare adopters for life with an Italian Greyhound.
Please submit an adoption application if you would like to be first on our list of potential adopters. Sometimes dogs don’t make it to our available list because we had the perfect approved adopter waiting for a dog.
Binkey, or "Binks" as she is known to her friends, is an approximately 1 year old IG/Chi mix. She is adorable - she has the long legs of an IG and the shorter head of a chi. She appears to be a 50/50 mix. She is black with white toes and a blaze on her chest and weighs about 9#. Binks is a ball of energy and fun. She is full of puppy engery and etheusiasm. Which is pretty impressive, as Binks is a puppymill survivor. She is learning about life and gaining confidence quickly. She LOVES to run in the fenced backyard and play with other dogs. She is also great with cats. She is particualry fond of stuffed dog toys and is learning to "fetch". She has the chase part down, and we are working on the bringing it back. Binks walks well on a leash, is great in her crate, and is doing well on house training. She even likes the snow - which is a bonus with the house training! As a puppymill dog, Binks can be shy with strangers, but is VERY sweet and loving with those she knows. She is getting better with strangers all the time - but she needs a home that will continue socializing her so that she can be the confident dog she wants to be.

Loka is a very petite girl weighing about 8 pounds. She's very sweet and a quiet girl (not a barker) whose favorite thing to do is go for a walk, sit on your lap and just be anywhere her person is. She is crate trained, walks well on leash and does very well on outdoor housetraining however she was potty pad trained in a previous home so would probably adapt to that again if needed. Loka didn't have a lot of socialization before coming into rescue so would benefit from a patient home and continued exposure to life.
She is shy with new people and with men. Her ideal home will be a quiet home with plenty of time and exercise. Her greatest joy is to be with you so she won't do well along long hours. She gets along well with other dogs her size and energy level. She doesn't like loud noise, quick movements so wouldn't be an ideal dog for a home with children. Because she's quiet and likes to be with you, she would be great for someone that could take their dog to work in a quiet office setting. Watch this site for updates as Loka gains confidence in foster care. She's is a great loving dog who truly LOVES to be with her person.
For more information about Loka, please contact Carol. Wink will only be adopted to a family in Wisconsin or a surrounding state.
