IGCA Rescue is a club sponsored re-homing service provided for Italian
Greyhounds that have been abandoned at animal shelters, taken from
abusive homes
or
surrendered
to Rescue
due to the death or divorce of the former owner. Occasionally, dogs
are turned over to Rescue because the owner can no longer keep the
dog and
the dog was acquired from a source to which it cannot be returned.
IGCA Rescue volunteers foster these dogs in their homes, where their
health and temperament are evaluated. All dogs are taken for a veterinary
check-up:
when necessary, vaccinations are updated, the animal is neutered/spayed
and its teeth are cleaned. Each Italian Greyhound is
evaluated
so that
it can be placed in a home suitable to both the dog and the new owner.
Prospective adopters are required to fill out a short application and
go through an interview process, including a home check. At the time
of placement, the adoptee is required to sign a simple adoption contract.
A $250.00 donation is requested at the time of placement. These donations
are returned to the Italian Greyhound Rescue Fund to provide medical
care for future rescue dogs.
Unfortunately, the number of Italian Greyhounds being placed through
the Rescue is on the rise. Responsible, loving homes are always needed.
