My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Ben is a 5 year old pure breed Italian greyhound. We purchased him as a puppy from Pinnacle Farm and Kennel in GA. He is great with people, kids, and other dogs. He is incredibly sweet, can do tricks like sit, play dead, roll over, lay down, shake, speak, and sing. He is crate trained and loves his kennel. With a broken heart we are having to rehome him after having 2 medical issues with him that have cost us a lot of money and we now have a toddler who is not gentle with him and he is alone a lot.
At 8 mo, he broke his front right leg which we had a costly surgery to repair it. It is very common in young IGs. We did everything to ensure the leg would heal correctly so he has a permeant metal plate in place. It does not give him any issues now.
Last year he swallowed a pacifier and had to have bowl obstruction surgery to remove it. He made a full recovery but the financial blow hit us hard.
He would make an amazing pet for anyone with another (gentle) dog or more time for him.
