For the visitors to this blog who are not from the Greater Houston Area or are new to Houston, but are interested in Italian Greyhounds, check out the Facebook page for the Houston area Italian Greyhound Rescue.
To be honest, or more accurate, the Rescue is really statewide, serving Italian Greyhounds and the humans who need them all across Texas.
This is the Rescue where the Sivils family adopted our two boys, Berkeley and Alec. It is also the organization we foster Iggies for from time-to-time. It's a great group that has, and does, a lot of work to promote our beloved breed, care for Iggies when they need rescuing and finds homes for Iggies.
They even come to the aid of humans who need rescuing by an Iggy by matching up the right human with the right Iggy.
It's a wide ranging group of individuals who make up the membership, if you want to call it that, of the Rescue who are all united by a common love for this quirky little breed.
If you are not already involved, I encourage you to check the Rescue out. Even if you don't want to be placed in the possession of an Italian Greyhound (let's face it, that is the way the relationship really works) there are many ways to be involved. You can foster an Iggy, providing it a home until it can adopt its forever family, do home Iggy inspections, transport Iggies, do "take ins" of Iggies (that's how we were adopted by Alec - we were the take in family and failed foster parents) and probably a lot of other tasks I cannot recall.
I promise, if you want to be involved, there is more than enough to do. Just contact the organization.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the well wishers who have responded in kindness over the passing of little Alec. I appreciate it, as do all the members of our family, a great deal.
