FROM THE SHELTER:

Italian Greyhounds are wonderful pets, but like all breeds they have their quirks. Difficulty in house training is a major reason these affectionate dogs end up in rescue. Please educate yourself about this breed before submitting an application, see the information at http://www.igohio.petfinder.com/

Bellacino is a 6 year old handome blue and white boy, that goes by the shorter Chino.  He is the tall lanky sort of IG.  His moderate energy level would be a great fit for most homes, and he is tolerant of more active dogs and boisterous children.  He enjoys the company of the other IGs in his foster home, but he would do just fine as an only dog too.  He is a great balance of both the independant explorer and obligate snuggler.  He crates wonderfully, and is working on his potty habits outside of the crate.  His foster home reports he is working on his socialization with bigger dogs, and is doing well. They are also working on leash training, where he does pull some.  He already knows the 'sit' and 'down' commands.  What a dreamy little guy!  Let us know if you think Chino might be a good fit for you.
