Welcome the Italian Greyhound Rescue Charity

• To relieve the suffering of Italian Greyhounds in need of care and attention, including those who find themselves in difficulties due to a change in their owner's circumstances.  
• Throughout the UK we provide foster and adoption homes for pedigree and cross bred Italian Greyhounds, maintaining lifelong contact with every re-homed dog.  
• To ensure that Italian Greyhounds in need of veterinary care and attention receive the appropriate care and treatment, prior to facilitating their re-homing.  
• To educate the public as to breed requirements in order to promote responsible ownership and positive health of Italian Greyhounds.  
• To promote the advancement of education and science by furthering research into diseases and health issues affecting Italian Greyhounds.  

The Rescue is a non-profit making Charity and is funded exclusively by fundraising activities and voluntary donations. Our Trustees are all volunteers, and as a national organisation we have a network of Friends of the Charity who assist in foster care, re-homing visits and transportation of rescued Italian Greyhounds. Consequently, no matter where an Italian Greyhound needs assistance in rehoming we can help.
