INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS
1. It is vital to keep your Italian Greyhound on a leash whenever it is outdoors, unless it is in a fenced area. Never "trust" that your Italian Greyhound will not run away.
2. You must agree to keep your Italian Greyhound as a pet, live in the house as a part of your family.
3. You must agree to maintain the necessary vaccinations (DHLPP, Rabies, etc.) and you will be responsible for licensing the dog as required within your community.
4. Should you ever decide you cannot keep or do not want the Italian Greyhound you obtained from the IGCA Rescue, you MUST notify the IGCA Rescue Representative prior to taking any action. You may not give your dog to anyone else without the consent of IGCA Rescue and you must agree never to take it to a "pound" or other humane shelter.
5. The IGCA Rescue Fund is comprised of donations by members of the IGCA, those interested in the well-being of the breed and by adoption donations. The Rescue Fund is maintained by the Treasurer of the IGCA and all donations must be payable to the "IGCA Rescue Fund". A donation (suggested donation $150) for adopting will be requested and is non-refundable.
I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE READ AND WILL AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE REQUIREMENT SET FORTH. IF I QUALIFY AND RECEIVE AN ITALIAN GREYHOUND FROM IGCA RESCUE, I WILL ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ITALIAN GREYHOUND.
