What is IGCA Rescue - Arizona? We are a group of rescue representatives and volunteers for IGCA Rescue in Arizona dedicated to the rescue of Italian Greyhounds in our state that have been abandoned, lost or surrendered to shelters, or owner surrendered to Rescue by owners or relatives of the owner. We are all volunteers and work with rescue because of our love for Italian Greyhounds. We are not a shelter, and all of our dogs are fostered in homes with our volunteers until their forever homes are found.

Not in Arizona? If you are not located in Arizona please visit the IGCA web site to contact your local representative.

Is an IG right for you? Be sure to research this breed before making the commitment to own one.  Visit this site for more information on IGs.  This is a very affectionate breed that loves human contact, is difficult to housebreak, and cannot be taken off-leash in an unfenced area.

Rescue dogs usually come with some baggage, either emotional or physical, and each home has to be willing to deal with a particular problem.   Every dog will go through a period of adjustment in a new home, which could include potty accidents, sleeplessness, etc. and an adopter must be prepared to deal with this for weeks or months depending on the dog.  Seldom do we get puppies into rescue, although it is not unheard of.

What is the adoption process? The adoption process includes an application, phone interview, reference check and home visit. If you are located in Arizona, please CLICK HERE for an adoption application.  The adoption donation is $250, and all dogs will have complete vet care (spay/neuter, vaccinations, dentals, fix broken legs, etc.) prior to adoption.

Often we have approved homes waiting for high demand dogs, such as young females, and place the dogs before they even make it to the website.  If you do want to adopt a rescue dog but do not see the right match on the website, you must complete the adoption process so that you will be approved when the right dog comes into rescue.

Who to contact? If you would like to apply for a specific dog in our program, please fill out an application by following the link above.  You can follow up on your application by writing to igrescue@cox.net.  Please do not contact us about surrendering a dog to our program until you see that we are accepting new dogs. We will keep our status current at the top of this page.
