Italian Greyhound

Kent Greyhound Rescue

Dave has arrived as a Italian Greyhound X Saluki puppy who was bought from a breeder – then abandoned. This is all we know of his background. He is a fabulous puppy – very happy and very and very loving.

Safe Rescue For Dogs

Figgy is a petite little Italian greyhound/ whippety shaped crossbreed aged around three years old. Not yet been cat tested. Can live with or without other dogs. Respectful children 12 plus. Figgy and his family went to Roxanas shelter in Romania from the Ukraine after the war broke out. They grew up there and only now have the chance of a better future. Figgy is the sweetest little dog but he lacks confidence with new people and new situations. Once given time to get to know you he is a happy and affectionate little boy. He mixes great with other dogs but would be equally as happy as the only dog in the home. He could live with respectful children aged twelve plus.Figgy fostered North Walsham NorfolkAdoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: £430. Un-neutered puppies on spay/neuter contracts: £530 (You will receive a £100 rebate once you send us proof of neutering). Senior dogs (10+ years): £150–£250 (depending on age and individual needs).When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations might upset your dog. If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way to prevent your dog from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and for you to know your dog fully (longer for nervous dogs). The slip lead must ALWAYS be used during this settling-in period. Even after your dog is settled, it is safest to use the slip lead in situations where your dog may become scared (e.g. visiting new places, around unfamiliar people, at the vet), and it situations where unexpected triggers might happen (e.g. around bonfire night). Nervous dogs may always need to wear a slip-lead as a back-up safety measure. The slip lead is a safety device and must NEVER be used as a training tool. Using the lead to apply pressure to the dog’s neck is damaging. If your dog pulls on the lead, then we can advise you on training methods that avoid harm. Once your dog is settled, you may want to consider using a harness (together with the slip lead) if your dog is comfortable with being handled when it is fitted. Most harnesses are not escape-proof, but harnesses with a strap behind the ribcage (e.g. Ruffwear Webmaster or Perfect Fit Harnesses) are safer. Retractable / extendable leads must never be used on our dogs. Adopted dogs must be collected from the rescue and transported straight home in a secure metal crate. Fences and gates must be 5foot minimum in height and secure.
