My story

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

Ezio – A thirteen-year-old Italian Greyhound in NJ

Foster or Foster with Intent to Adopt Needed

Due to work obligations, Ezio’s current owner is not able to provide him with the time and attention that he deserves. What is wanted most for Ezio, is a loving new person (or people) who will give him lots of affection and less “alone time” than he currently has.

Ezio is a very loving dog who “loves physical touch.” Although not overly so, he can be nervous/skittish and physical affection from his person makes him feel safe. He has a moderate activity level and enjoys walks – only occasionally pulling (Italian Greyhound Place would be glad to provide information on loose leash walking); is friendly with both people and dogs, but does tend to “hump” other male dogs – gentle re-direction could be used when this occurs; and is not much of a barker, only barking when other dogs walk by.

Ezio’s crate is primarily used with the door left open, but he will stay in it (with the door closed) for a few hours or so. Although good in the car, he does get car sick – for longer trips his owner uses a car seat that “levels him to the window” and has found this to help.

House trained to potty outside during walks, Ezio does mark in his home and his owner, therefore, uses a belly band with him. An adopter extremely patient with, and accepting of accidents, is needed (Italian Greyhound Place would be glad to offer information on house training).

If you are interested in Ezio, have lots of love and affection to offer him, and are home more than not, please contact Italian Greyhound Place.
