MO Rescues

Kermit is a gorgeous, sweet and loving 2 year old Italian Greyhound boy, that immediately adjusted to his new foster home with 2 other Iggies and an old cat. He tries to initiate play with the others but they are stick-in-the-muds and do not play much . He will sweetly go and get toys and play alone however. Kermit's favorite time is snuggling in the evenings while watching TV. He enjoys getting under a blanket next to anyone's lap. It is not uncommon to see him snuggled down along with the other 2 Iggies and the cat in the chair all very happy together. Kermit has been working on his crate training skills and has made much improvement, although he would much rather sleep under the covers with his new family. He is also working on his potty habits and is getting quite good at going outside to potty after eating and on a schedule with his foster brother and sister.

Kermit would do best in a family without small children, over the age of 10 would be fine. Kermit also needs to have a fenced yard to play in as he is still very young and active. He would also do very well in a home with another small dog and gets along fine with cats.

Kermit has been neutered, is current on his immunizations, heartworm negative and on prevention. For more information on the stunning and sweet boy, contact Deb at kadcp@stjoelive.com.

	Mr. Darcy: Meet Mr. Darcy, a gorgeous 2 year old male Italian greyhound. Mr Darcy was unfortunate enough to find himself as a stud dog in a puppy mill, through a happy chain of events he finds himself now in rescue. Mr. Darcy has not had much positive human socialization, but despite that he comes out of his crate to spend time with his foster brothers and mom. He hangs with the family and is beginning to interact with them more and more. Surprisingly his potty habits are quiet good and is does not mark. He is becoming less skittish when being picked up, although this activity is still not one he is comfortable with. Once picked up he will settle if you hold him and even feel safe enough to fall asleep in your arms. Mr. Darcy will willingly go to his crate and rest quietly while you leave and at night. Mr. Darcy is neutered, current on immunizations, heartworm negative and on preventative. He is soon to have a dental as well. Mr. Darcy would like a home with a fenced yard as he loves to go outside and investigate his surroundings, even in the cold NW Missouri winters. No small children (over the age of 9 should be OK).
