My story

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

Artie, who turned twelve this past September and weighs twenty-three pounds, is in the care of Italian Greyhound Place. With the same family since puppyhood, the birth of two children, one year apart, significantly impacted the attention Artie's people were able to give him, with walks, play, and cuddles estimated to be 5 - 10% of what they once were. In addition, Artie no longer seemed happy and appeared to be experiencing stress when the children were crying or making noise when playing. A home with older, or no, children would be best for Artie.

Artie is housetrained, and will whine when he needs to go out. When left alone, Artie is accustomed to staying in an enclosed space with an open crate such as a kitchen or laundry room, or in a closed crate. Artie is consistently accident-free in his "room," but if left alone with free roam of the house, accidents tend to occur.

This guy loves to go for walks and, although he will pull slightly at times, is basically good on-leash. He is good with other dogs, cats, and people; enjoys cuddling under blankets; tends to be alert; and at twelve-years of age, still has a fairly high level of energy and, in addition to walks, enjoys playing. Artie has a fantastic personality - kind, loving, and sweet. He loves to be by his person's side and makes for a wonderful companion.

If you are interested in sharing Artie's senior years with him, please contact Italian Greyhound Place.
