Story

**Current location: in a foster home in South Korea** >Rescue Story: He was rescued from a high-kill shelter along with his brother in Jan 2023. While his lucky brother found his forever home soon after and has been happily living with his family, Saerom was relinquished twice by his first and second families unfortunately. His former families misunderstood his teething as biting and did not like his appearance. He may have been hurt by them, but is growing as a bright pup in his current foster for the past 10 months and has learned socialization to be ready to find his true forever family. We hope he won't get hurt by humans ever again! > 3 keywords: attached to his owner/ active/ smart > Affinity with - Dogs: Generally good around other dogs! He's been behaving at a dog swimming pool or a dog cafe. - Cats: He lived with a kitten once in the current foster home, and he ended up being sweet and taking care of it :) - Kids: When he was a puppy, he lived with two kids (one elementary schooler, one kindergartener) in his previous foster home and liked playing with them. > Housetrained: uses indoor pee-pads placed in a restroom! > Barks/Howls: Only barks at the doorbell sound. > Walking Manners: He tends to pull a little out of excitement at the beginning of a walk but paces with his walker later on. > Energy Level: mid-high since he is still young! > Appetite: He eats anything well! > Car Rides: He has felt slight car sickness for a long time over 20 minutes. (fine with subway) > Bathing/Teeth Brushing: Good with water itself, but not a fan of a dryer. / Likes doggy toothpaste! No problem with teeth brushing every night! > Likes: plush toys and dog chews! > Commands/Tricks: sit, paw, stay, eat (pound twice on the floor), down, and 'V' > Shedding: 2 during non-shedding seasons and 8 during shedding seasons

Story

 Zeke and his sister were found dumped on a country road, hungry and alone. Zeke loves to go for walks and play in the yard. He loves to hang out and get rubs. He is very eager to please and will follow commands. He is still young so he will need guidance. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. He is on the smaller side which makes him ideal for apartment or house living. He will need access to a yard for exercise.  Zeke can be transported to anywhere in the United States and Canada.    ##1534911##

Story

Royal – a three-year-old Basenji mix in CT (More photos at www.italiangreyhoundplace.com) From Royal’s foster: “There is so much joy to this boy.” Due to medical reasons of their own, Royal’s people were put in the sad position of having to locate a new home for him. Royal is currently with a foster (she fosters and locates new homes for dogs) and, although he has been very fortunate to be with her, he needs a forever home. Royal, who is three-years old and weighs forty pounds, is “very energetic” and is “looking for someone who is active and ready to explore the world with him.” This guy is fun (goofy and playful!), friendly, and affectionate. In fact, his foster describes him as a sweet dog who “is BEYOND friendly; he loves every dog and human he meets.” Royal responds to cues, "but sometimes needs a refresher because he is always genuinely excited and happy.” When excited, Royal “does this little pounce thing (you will see him do this very often lol).” It is not known how Royal is around cats, but his foster shared that “he gets excited around children” and will jump on them (and steal stuffed animals!). She would, therefore, ideally like “a home with no young children so there’s no risk of them getting knocked down.” Royal would benefit from an adopter who can spend time with him and work with him in a positive fashion on his manners. He also needs an adopter willing and able to offer him exercise – without sufficient exercise, he tends to chew destructively. Mental stimulation would also be a great option for Royal and can be fun to implement (Italian Greyhound Place would be glad to offer canine enrichment ideas/resources). He has been accident free with his foster (potties outside in an enclosed area), travels nicely in the car (although he occasionally gets car sick), only tends to bark when excited, and does not pull if a slip lead is used. He was crated in his previous home and this listing will include current information after Royal’s foster experiments with a crate (she currently uses a very large kennel). If in a fenced yard, a six-foot high fence is needed. His fur is super soft! If you have an active lifestyle and would like to share your love and home with Royal or have questions about him, please contact Italian Greyhound Place.

Toby

Story

Toby loves to be highly active though he can also relax with his family. He loves his K9 buddies and we feel he'd be happiest in a home with another active dog/ dogs. He's still a young dog and needs love and guidance from his humans whom he wants to please. Toby would probably love to be with older children and have a big secure backyard where he can romp and play with with his family and k9 sibling/ siblings. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He can travel anywhere in the US and Canada. ##1501938##

Story

*Name: Archie *Age: approx 5 years old *Current Weight: 52 lbs *Adoption fee: $475 Hey there, I'm Archie, a spirited 5 year-old Basenji/Pit mix ready to bring boundless joy and energy into your life. If you're looking for a furry friend who's the perfect mix of cuddly and active, then look no further  I'm your guy! I'm not just your average cuddle bug  I'm also a pro at playtime! Whether it's fetch in the backyard, a game of tug-of-war, or a run in the park, count me in. I've got plenty of energy to burn and would love a human playmate to keep up with my zest for life. While I'm a bundle of joy for adults, I do best in a home without young children. I'm on the lookout for a home that appreciates my zest for life and is ready to embrace an active lifestyle. If you have a fenced yard, a love for outdoor activities, and a comfy spot on the couch for post-play snuggles, we're destined to be a great team!
