Paolo, IG-Mix, Male
Paolo is came to us with Saviero, but they do not have to be adopted together.

Paolo is also very frightened...and will take a considerable amount of work. ...But that work will be well worth it for a special person with a gentle touch and loving nature.

Saviero, Italian Greyhound, Male
Saviero is a purebred Italian Greyhound about 10 months old. He is very frightened...and needs a very gentle hand. Giovanni and Paolo came to us from a puppy mill.

Saviero means "of the new house" in Italian. Could that be *your* house?

SPOT
3 1/2 year old purebred female
WHIPPET
Pure white with one black spot, and a GREAT smile. Not to mention a personality that will not quit.  Funny, friendly, playful, active she loves to play bow to everyone, and when you talk to her she will tapdance her front feet up and down.  This is a silly girl.  An excellent companion for older kids or another lonely Whippet—especially a boy.  Loves people, toys, riding in the car and is doggie door trained and crate trained.

WINNIE, Greyhound, Female
Winnie is a 4 year old female Greyhound. She is a slightly pink brindle...very unusual color and an extraordinary dog. She is not a track dog.

Winnie is a superior athlete and when she feels that she is being neglected,she can clear any fence in a heart beat to find something to do. This makes her difficult to place, and she is very friendly, loving and playful, it is a shame. Do you have a secure yard and time to share with a beautiful, fun loving gal? She gets along with other dogs, especially males. We think she would probably chase your cat but she would also keep other pesky critters out as well. What a bonus. What a nice dog, she has been here too long.

Mona-Mona, Long Dog, Female
Mona-Mona is what is called a Longdog which is a mixture of two or more sighthounds. (Sighthounds are dogs that hunt by sight, commonly the racing breeds). She is about 5 years old. She is probably Whippet, Saluki and Deerhound - a mixture that is commonly called a Staghound. She is shorter than a Deerhound, more the size of a Saluki. She has a rough brindle coat. She is friendly, and loving with people and a good hunter.
She is a smart dog, she learns things very quickly.

A Note About Our Rescue Dogs...
Some of these very sensitive dogs have been in more than one home and they have their own baggage.

Keep in mind that when we note a specific problem with the dog, we believe it is something that needs to be acknowledged and that the success of a placement really depends on the willingness of the adoptive home to be able to adapt and/or fulfill the dog's needs. To take a dog and then attempt to "change" it is really unfair to everyone. Some are simply perfect the way they are and some are not. The placement is perfect, however, when you respect the needs of the dog, and are realistic in your expectations. We will never knowingly place a difficult dog in a home unless you are well aware of what it may involve.
