Guinness: Guinness is a wonderfully sweet calm 2-3 year old male Italian Greyhound. He is a gorgeous seal color and very well muscled, in fact his foster mom thinks he looks like an artistic sculpture of the breed. Guinness is on the bigger side and weighs 16.6 pounds, without an ounce of fat on him. He is very sweet natured and plays gently with his blind foster brother and tiny little foster sister. Guinness loves to sit and snuggle with you, and will cuddle up and sleep with you through the night. He is not invasive though, he will approach you and gaze at you soulfully to be invited up, he never jumps in your lap or on the furniture. He can be a bit shy if he thinks you are chasing him, but calmly put your hand down and he will approach you. His potty habits are excellent and he is very smart, he learned the doggy door within a few hours and has not had any accidents in the house since coming into foster care. Guinness has shown no desire to mark at his foster home. Guinness crates for cookies and meals and rests quietly in his crate. He is not a licker but will gently snuffle your face. Guinness will be altered, have a dental and be up to date on immunizations prior to his adoption. Guinness would prefer a fenced yard. Older children would be fine for Guinness, due to his sensitive nature children under the age of 9 are not preferred.

	Lewis: This cute 1 year old (as of 4/09) male Italian greyhound is a pretty tough dude. After Lewis had been in rescue for awhile it was clear he had some health issues. Lewis underwent surgery to correct the problem and he is doing wonderful. This young boy is still very much a puppy, running around and playing with his foster brothers. Lewis would like a fenced yard and no children for him as he is pretty small. Lewis is current on immunizations, heart-worm negative-on preventative and has been neutered. Lewis may require a special diet for the rest of his life but everyone expects him to have a normal life expectancy. Lewis's food is available commercially so will be easy enough to purchase.

	Ruger is an 8 month old (as of 2-09), playful puppy. He is a very handsome boy that is blue-fawn with white markings. He is a bit goofy at times, chasing his tail and standing on his hind legs to sniff the air. He barks (like a seal) at his foster brother and sister to get them riled up so they will play with him. He also loves to play with his toys (he fetches really well) and loves to run around outside. Therefore he will require a fenced yard and no small children due to his size and the breeds fragility. We are working on his potty training (using piddle pads & outdoors). He is doing quite well but still needs to be watched closely. He is crate trained (although he has a habit of pottying in his crate due to being left for extended periods when he was younger) but prefers to be warm under the covers with his human. He is a smart little guy with such a sweet expressive face. He will bond very closely with his human. Rugar is neutered, current on immunizations, and on heartworm preventative. Out of state adoptions will be considered IF APPROVED BY YOUR LOCAL REP, and the potential adopter must be willing to travel to Missouri to Meet him. We will not ship under any circumstances. Rugar is located southwest of Kansas City Mo. For more information on Rugar contact Deb at kadcp@stjoelive.com.

Shelby NEEDS to have her own fenced yard though as she really enjoys being outside. She is very athletic and can easily jump a baby gate or X-Pen and for that reason if you have a chain link fence it would be best if she was not left outside unattended-a privacy fence would be perfect for her.

She bounces when you enter the room, and loves to be held to give you soft, gentle nuzzles.

She’s very smart and sensitive – a positive word to her makes her blossom, as she so wants to please. Mitzi has very good potty habits, even in wet weather.
