Male Iggie Available - not a Rescue

Diavolino IG's currently has a 3.5 yr old black/white male available to the right home. He is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations. He is being rehomed due to allergies ( owner's young child ).

This dog was never in a Rescue situation, he was raised in the home. Please contact Karen Chant, Diavolino IG's if you are interested in being considered for this great boy.

Sammy the Iggie

The following was posted on Iggy Planet and I wanted to post it here, as well. I have no connection to this effort, but have heard from reputable sources that it is legitimate.

Hello friends and family,

I'm writing to you, asking for help for my foster italian greyhound, Sammy.He was relinquished where I work, at West Ridge Animal Hospital, becausehis housemate had parvo and the owner didn't want to deal with the risk thatSammy might also have parvo. The owner wanted to euthanize him or relinquishhim so I took him into my house. He ended up not having parvo and has beendoing great to this point. I worked with Wiseguys Italian Greyhound rescue totry to find him a home and they found a great home for him.

We were literallyweeks away from getting him to his new home (just had to be neutered, andthen meet the girl to get him to his forever home) when he broke both his frontlegs this last Wednesday (01/13). The breaks were fairly clean, no splinters,and fit together like puzzle pieces, so there was a good chance that they wouldheal well with splinting, but the first few days are crucial to know how well thefractures would set. Unfortunately, the fractures did not stay set and are moving and require surgery.

There are several options with repairing fractures, but thiscase is hard because BOTH front legs are broken. The best option for healingis to have "elastic plates" put on the fractures and then have his legs casted toallow the plates to keep the fractures set while he heals. Unfortunately for us,this is quite pricey. The rescue just had another IG with a broken leg and 7 puppymill dogs and does not have extra funds to help out but is trying to spread theword that I need help and asking for donations for us. His future owner is trying toraise funds as well to help out also. I am writing to ask if anybody can help by donatingto help us out to cover the cost of surgery. The orthopedic specialist doing the surgeryhas offered to take about $1200 off of his cost, and work is offering me discountson services and to volunteer some services as well to cut the cost. Every little bit helps. If you can help or spread the word for help it would be greatly appreciated.I don't have a "click to donate" option online at all, but if you want, you can call the hospital and make a donation, we have a special account set up for collecting forhim. Thank you in advance, from Sammy, from Me, from his future mom - Jenn.
Thank you again,
Audra

Italian Greyhounds

Karen Chant ( Diavolino IG's ) is a huge supporter of Rescue and also helps other IG breeders find homes for their dogs. There are a few dogs available on her website - some are rescues, others are retired showdogs.

Please visit her website to see pics. http://www.diavolinoigs.com/Available.html

Currently there are several dogs available from a longtime breeder who has health issues and can no longer care for them. You can see pics and read a bit about each of them.

There are also 2 males available from another breeder - pics and such are there for you to see.

Karen also has a 6 yr old female cutie available to the right home. There are pics of her, as well.

Whippet/Greyhound available in Alberta

Chinook Winds Greyhound Rescue Foundation has a Whippet/Greyhound cross available for adoption. "Radar" is a black brindle boy, just under a year old. Sighthounds are quite active as youngsters and typically mature out at about 3 yrs of age. They are a lot of fun... a lot of work but that work is very rewarding.

To learn more about Radar and see pics, please visit the website.

We also have 6 other males and 4 females available to the right homes. If you are interested, please fill out an application from the website and someone will be in contact with you shortly.

11 Whippets Available

WRAP - Whippet Rescue and Placement - currently has 11 Whippets available for adoption.

Three of them are in California - 3 four year old females.

One in Colorado - a 1.5 year old male.

Seven in Illinois - 11 yr old female ( yes, 11 yrs young but so darn pretty you just wanna spoil her rotten ), 10 yr old male ( again, just ready to be hugged and kissed and spoiled ), 9 yr old female, 5 yr old male, two 5 yr old females, 8 yr old female, 9 yr old male and a 6 yr old male. Apparently, they all belonged to a longtime breeder who has passed away.

I am not a member of WRAP but wanted to help. This is an unusually high number of Whippets to be available at any given time. I am not familiar with their adoption policy nor their requirements of a home. Please visit the website to see pics and learn more. Whippet Rescue & Placement - WRAP http://www.whippet-rescue.com

Iggies have all found homes

I just heard from Cantex IG's - all the IG's they had available have now found good homes. Thank you for your interest.

I do not currently know of anyone who has IG's available but will certainly post here with updates if I hear of any.

Due to my pending renovations, I will not be Fostering until further notice.

Have a wonderful summer!

Piper - update

Piper has been placed in a new home and is doing well. I think she is enjoying all the attention and not having to share people with other dogs.

Thank you to everyone for your interest. I am in the process of renovating my home and will not be Fostering until at least the fall, when everything is done and I have everything back in order.

Blessings from the Faerie Laedie!
