Story
Hudson is a sweet 6-month-old Italian Greyhound puppy. (DOB: 3/7/2026) He currently weighs just under 12 pounds. Hudson was surrendered to us by his previous family when they realized they were unable to provide him with the attention and care he needed. He is looking for a special forever family ready to help him grow into his most confident self!
Hudson is expected to be a larger Italian Greyhound, affectionately called a “Biggie,” and may reach around 16–18 pounds when fully grown.
Hudson is a bit shy when meeting new people but once he gets to know you, his personality really shines! He is very affectionate, friendly, and loves being with his people. He also enjoys other friendly small dogs and would thrive living with a confident canine companion who can help show him the ropes. We think he would quickly bond with another friendly, confident dog and benefit from having a buddy by his side. Hudson tends to look to his person for reassurance, regularly “checking in” and making eye contact on walks, which makes us think he will be very responsive to training once he feels comfortable.
He previously lived in an apartment without regular walks, so the sights and sounds of the outside world can still feel like a lot for him. His forever family will need to give him time, patience, and plenty of positive experiences as he learns to navigate the world with confidence. While Hudson may always have a slightly nervous side, we believe his confidence will continue to blossom as he gains positive experiences and learns that the world isn’t so scary.
Hudson is currently working hard on his potty training and making great progress! He was previously pee-pad trained and is now learning that outside is the place to go. He is also working on crate training.
Hudson isn’t looking for just any home, he’s looking for his person. Someone patient enough to let him come out of his shell, experienced enough to understand an Italian Greyhound’s sensitive nature, and willing to celebrate every little bit of progress along the way. In return, Hudson will give you a whole lot of love.
**The collar shown in these photos was for flight risk safety management only while acclimating to outdoor exposure, due to limited exposure to being outdoors before coming to Tiny Paws. It was used as a backup without any pressure being put on the trachea, just in case something failed with the harness and first leash.**
