My story

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

Due to their owner's pending divorce, long work hours, and difficulty in affording care for them, Jack and Layla are in need of a new home together.

Jack, who is approximately twelve pounds, turned five this past June, and Layla, who is about twenty pounds, will be six this month. These two are fairly low-key and enjoy snuggling, although they do go into pogo-stick mode when excited; only tend to bark when playing (emitting two or so barks); are good in the car; and enjoy walks, although, probably due to not getting much exercise, Jack will sometimes want to be carried on the way home. When left alone, Jack and Layla currently stay in a small room. Since neither are housetrained, an adopter with the willingness to work with them on this is needed; the use of a bellyband for Jack and a panty for Layla during training would be beneficial in reducing the number of accidents that require cleaning (Jack and Layla's owner originally attempted housetraining, but due to working extremely long hours and the resultant lack of consistency, was not successful).

Layla was diagnosed with vasculitis and was put on prednisone and pentoxyfilline - she presented with dry patches of skin around her eyes, and callus-like growths on her paws. Her symptoms cleared quickly with treatment, and have not recurred. Since Layla's vasculitis followed the administration of a lyme vaccination, Layla should not recieve that, or other unnecessary vaccinations.

If you are interested in providing Jack and Layla with a loving home together, please contact Italian Greyhound Place. Jack and Layla are located in Maine.
