Joanne has owned Italian Greyhounds for over 25 years.  Her first IG was called Gladys and was rescued by her breeder from a home where circumstances meant that she was not getting the care that she should. She was just a year old. Gladys started Jo’s love affair with this magical breed. She currently has 12 Italian Greyhounds, aged from two up to nearly 16 years, plus a Dachshund and a Spanish Galgo Rescue.

Jo has foster cared and home-checked for IGRC in the past and is fortunate in having her own paddocks for exercising dogs, which makes it a pleasure for Jo and our foster IGs, many of whom have never had the joy of free-running. Being placed in the Midlands is also ideal when it comes to home-checking and helping transport our rescues where needed.
