Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation (MO/KAN)

Missouri - Kansas IG Rescue operates under Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation and follow their policies and procedures. IGRF is a national not-for-profit organization with volunteers all across the country. This organization takes in unwanted IGs and place them in carefully screened homes where they are appreciated and loved as they deserve. We work in Missouri and Kansas and network with all other states. For further information, please visit IGCA Rescue IGs in our program come from a variety of sources but most are owner surrenders given up when the family is no longer able to keep their pet. The dogs are fostered in our families until the right home is found. Their personalities and health are evaluated and we try very hard to match each dog to the right situation. Our adoptable dogs range from Italian Greyhound puppies to seniors and everything in between. If you would like to adopt an Italian Greyhound, the first step is to research the breed to be sure they have the personality and traits you desire in a companion. IGs are wonderful pets but they are not your typical "dog" and many people find them too difficult, demanding and/or high energy. House training requires continuous reinforcement and supervision and they should NEVER be allowed off leash unless they are in a securely fenced area. One common misconception many people have is that puppies bond better and easier than adults when, in fact, it is actually the adults and more mature pups who bond most easily.
