Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chase is in the care of another rescue organization and Italian Greyhound Place is “cross-posting” his information for them. He came from a hoarding situation and is being fostered in CT, but can be adopted outside of that state. His foster indicated that he has the temperament, long legs, and thin body of an Italian Greyhound. Chase seems like a great, little dog!
Chase, who is estimated by a veterinarian to be three-years old and weighs approximately fifteen pounds, is super sweet, although somewhat shy and timid when first meeting someone. However, once he gets to know someone, he is a real “velcro” dog, following his person around the house and thoroughly enjoys having his neck and chin rubbed. He gets along great with other dogs and another “confident, fun loving dog” in his adoptive home would be fantastic. He is good with children, but, if there are children in a new home, the request is that they be older.
This guy is crate trained and is crated when left alone (he is not destructive, but his crate is his “safe spot”).
Chase is house trained to potty outside (doggy pee pads have not been used with him) and he has only had two mishaps since being fostered: he marked when he first entered his foster home and had one accident when his foster was on a conference call and could not take him out. Basically, he is doing excellent with house training.
He has a moderate activity level; loves to cuddle on the couch, relax in your arms, and explore the yard.
If you might be interested in Chase, please contact Italian Greyhound Place. His foster has indicated that she will be glad to speak with a potential adopter regarding Chase and his personality.
