Examples of where emergency care may be required include where the owner has had to go into hospital unexpectedly, the death of an owner, or an Italian Greyhound that is suffering from neglect or abuse.

We do not provide a boarding service when owners are going away/ on holiday!

Any Italian Greyhound coming to us for emergency care will be assessed and placed with one of our approved foster carers, all of whom have experience of living with and caring for Italian Greyhounds and have passed our home checks and assessments.

Please contact our Rescue Co-ordinator (details above) if you need emergency care support for your Italian Greyhound, or if you know of an Italian Greyhound that may need emergency care due to neglect or abuse:
