Here's what the humans have to say about me:
After becoming aware of certain undesirable aspects of the care Koby was receiving from his adoptive family, he has been welcomed back to Italian Greyhound Place. Koby is a sweet, loving dog who needs a forever home.
This guy is a "biggy iggy" who should weigh approximately twenty-three pounds and, when he does, as his original listing indicated, "it is a pleasure to see him in motion." Unfortunately, when Koby re-entered our care, he topped the scales at thirty-nine pounds. Needless to say, he needs to lose weight, which is being accomplished with a combination of exercise and diet. Even with the excess weight, Koby is quite agile and enjoys playing and going for walks - in the past, he also enjoyed jogging; something he would probably enjoy again once his weight is reduced some. *Update: Koby has lost ten pounds and now weighs twenty-nine pounds.
Koby is housetrained and will even whine to let you know that he has to go out. He is also crate trained, good on-leash, and travels nicely by car. Once Koby bonds with you, he will give hugs and cuddle next to you, occasionally jumping into your lap for shared together time. Koby is good with people, including children, other dogs, and cats. Koby is once again proving to be a quick learner, and wants to please.
This handsome, eight-year old boy has color dilution alopecia and, consequently, has hair loss predominantly on his back. Due to his skin coloration, the hair loss is not that noticeable and the condition does not affect his health. He also has a mild luxating patella that does not slow him down and rarely occurs. Please do not be deterred by these conditions or you will be missing out on a really terrific dog!
If you are interested being Koby's forever person (family), please contact Italian Greyhound Place.
