My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bubba is an absolutely delightful, four-year old Biggy Iggy. His owner intended to have him forever, but due to a divorce and a pending move to an apartment, Bubba is in need of a new home. Bubba is four-years old and weighs twenty-six pounds - as a puppy, he grew and grew, towering over other Italian Greyhounds. His size might surprize you, but the typical Italian Greyhound characteristics are there. Bubba is very affectionate and loves being in his person's lap or cuddled next to them; is shy and timid when meeting new people in new environments; is not fond of cold, wet, windy weather; and enjoys chasing squirrels and rabbits in his current yard. This handsome guy is housetrained - uses a litterbox and goes outside in his yard; is great with other dogs and children (cats are an unknown); is crate trained, and is good on leash - doesn't pull. Bubba's owner indicated that "Bubba has Baggage:" Bubba has an underactive thyroid (hyppothroidism) and is on medication that is given twice daily (cost is approximately $8/month). He also has some scarring on his corneas from an eye infection, but he does not demonstrate any vision loss. With proper treatment (regularly scheduled vet vists to ensure proper medication dosage), hypothyroid dogs can maintain good health, be basically sypmptom-free, and live a normal live span. If you would like to welcome a charming, biggy iggy with an expressive face into your home, please contact Italian Greyhound Place.
