Successfully rehomed by Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation

CLICK HERE TO READ OUR ADOPTION POLICIES BEFORE INQUIRING ON AN IG~DOG INFO~First let me say that yes, Vinnie is 100% Italian Greyhound - he is just a little chunky. Let’s be honest, when he came to my house he was the fattest I.G.

I had ever seen, but he has lost several pounds in the past couple of months and he will continue to slim down as long as he isn’t overfed and gets regular walks.Vinnie is an awesome dog who came to Italian Greyhound Rescue because his owners got a job in a different state and their new apartment doesn’t allow multiple dogs, so with great sadness, they turned him over because they knew he would be easy to place.
