ADOPTION PROCESS


Our adoption process has a few steps, with the end result that we will be able to match you with an awesome Rescue dog.  

The process to become approved for adoption includes completing an application form, phone interview with a Rescue Representative, reference check, and home visit. 

Once you are approved, we will determine if any of the IGs currently being fostered in Rescue might be a fit.   To help assess dog-fit, we will put you in touch with the foster home so that you can learn more and arrange to meet the dog.  
​

If we don't have an immediate "love connection," we will put you on a waiting list and keep you informed as dogs come into Rescue.


​The adoption fee is based on the dog's age.  The fee for dogs 0 to 6 months is $600;
7 months to 2 years of age is $500;
3 to 6 years $450; 7 to 9 years $350; and,
​10+ years $275.
  
All dogs are spayed/neutered and up to date on standard vaccinations.  Any major medical issues such as broken legs are handled by Rescue prior to adoption.

​Note: If you are looking for an Italian Greyhound under 2 years of age:


Most IGs that come into rescue are “middle aged” (6-9 years old) or seniors (10+ years). On the rare occasions when we have a puppy released to us, we are careful to place them in a home with IG or sighthound experience. Italian Greyhounds are difficult to housetrain and young IGs are prone to expensive leg breaks.  There is currently a waiting list for dogs under 2 years of age. The wait time can be a year or more. Another way to locate an IG pup is to contact a reputable breeder. Here is a link to reputable breeder referrals from the Italian Greyhound Club of America. https://italiangreyhound.org/find-an-ig/breeder-referrals/ . We wish you every success in finding the perfect dog! ​
