Story
Hey want to catch the big games ?? I am your girl Just give me a chance to show off my fantasy football team. ! My name is Rosie and I try to keep a Rosey outlook on life. I have had some big changes in my life recently, my one & only owner passed away and I had to come into rescue. I was very sad and nervous at first , but in keeping with my name have made the best of it ! I have been coming out of my shell and really enjoy being around people. I have Sooooo much love to give it just spills out sometimes ! I love to play in the fenced yard and just hang out in the sun. I am very proud of my potty habits and will not balk at the going in the cold weather, like some Iggys do. Foster Mom is pleased to report I have never had an accident in the house. I am a very healthy 10 year old with an excellent bill of health from the vet. Weighing in at about 18 Lbs I am a perfect blend of Italian Greyhound and Chihuahua -- so you get the best of both breeds with me , long legs for running and those adorable Chi ears to communicate with you . I am crate trained but would love to be able to snuggle with you day or night . I love a good walk and have great leash skills. I must admit I am a little of a deva and prefer to be the center of someone's universe and vice versa I would greatly prefer to not have to share a home with another pup and a fence is pretty important to me too. I am a young senior searching for a new lease on life and experiences. If you are like minded please contact Cari at igcitng@sbcglobal.net or indianaigrescue@comcast.net for an application or more info on how fabulous I am . I am in Illinois and free to go to surrounding states. Don't wait Football season is here & I am your greatest cheerleader !

Story
Meet Phoebe A sweet 8 Snuggly Iggy with unstoppable spirit ! Phoebe is an 8 yo Italian greyhound who proves daily that a loving heart and determined spirit can outshine any challenge. This very special little girl sustained a spinal injury after being attacked by another dog several years ago, which left her with limited feeling in her hind legs but don’t let that fool you! Phoebe does not believe in slowing down. In her foster home , Phoebe gets around beautifully on smooth surfaces like tile, skillfully using her front legs and gliding along to get where she needs to go. For adventures outdoors or rooms with carpet she happily used her wheelchair, which allows her to explore and enjoy life even more. What Phoebe loves most, though , isn’t movement—- it’s snuggling. She would be perfectly content cuddled under a blanket on your lap, beside you on a couch, or tucked in next to you in bed. Because of her special needs , Pheobe does need a watchful human to make sure she stays safely in place and doesn’t attempt any surprise leaps when curiosity strikes. Pheobe is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and deeply loving. She forms strong bonds with her people and thrives on gentle companionship and reassurance. Her ideal home is one with serious, thoughtful adopters who understand her needs and are committed to keeping her safe while giving her all the love she deserves. If you are looking for a truly special soul- one whomwill fill your home with warmth, gratitude and quiet joy - Pheobe is ready to snuggle her way straight into your heart. Pheobe is available foe adoption thru IN Italian Greyhound Rescue. Applications can be found at www.summitcityiggies.com or contacting Kim Bumger at topironhorse2000@hotmail.com Please return applications electronically to indianaigrescue@comcast.net or topironhorse 2000@hotmail.com

Story
Hi ! My name is HEIDI , a 14 yo Italian Greyhound with a dainty frame and very gentle soul ! 💗 I spent my entire life with one loving owner and when they passed away, my world changed in a big way. I am still learning how to feel settled again, so please be patient with me while I find my footing. Even with all the changes,I remain a very sweet girl who truly wants to love and be loved. I get along well with other dogs in my foster home and enjoy their quiet companionship.I’m not sure how I feel about cats or children yet , simply because I’ve never been around them. I am improving on my leash and enjoy quiet strolls. I’ve never been crate trained and crates are unfamiliar to me, so I would prefer a home that does not require one. Potty habits needed a little reinforcement, but am trying really hard! I am getting better at using a potty pad and going outside - especially when the weather cooperates, since cold weather is really not my thing. Being dainty has its perks, but it also makes me appreciate warmth and comfort. I was known be a lap dog in my previous life, and while I can be a bit stand offish right now, my foster mom thinks that’s just my heart healing from such a big loss. What DOES come through loud & clear is my love of food ! I am very fond of it and an expert countertop investigator.if something smells good to me — so keep those snacks out of reach 😜 My favorite things are gentle neck scratches, and relaxing massages. When you do that , I melt . I may be quiet and reserved at first, but I am incredibly sweet, and once I feel safe , I know I will bring warmth, tenderness, and companionship to the lucky person who opens their heart and home to me. If you are looking for a soft, loving senior who will quietly warm your heart, I might just be your girl. I am a healthy one & remember my breed can live to be quite old so I feel we would have A LOT of good times ahead ! Heidi is available for adoption through Indiana Italian Greyhound rescue. Please find an adoption application at Www.summitcityiggies.com or reach out to topironhorse2000@hotmail.com.
