Meet Ozzie! At just 10 months old and around 45 pounds, Ozzie is the perfect petite-sized pup with a heart full of love to give.

Story
Treasure is looking for a retirement home to spend her remaining life. She’s an 8ish year old Lurcher who has lived a tough life, raising countless puppies in horrendous living conditions. She is shy, but full of personality once she’s comfortable. Treasure does have quite a few cancerous mammary masses that will likely grow but our hope is that they will do so slowly allowing her to have some more time to just be loved. The removal for all of them would be extremely involved and painful, so we have elected to remove the largest ones only. Treasure is so deserving of a relaxing, happy ending and we hope that she gets to have it. Treasure is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, dewormed, microchipped, and current on flea/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $100. If you're interested in giving Treasure a soft place to land, apply today at farfetcheddogrescue.org

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. Please return applications electronically to indianaigrescue@comcast.net or topironhorse2000@hotmail.com
