Italian Greyhound Rescue NYC (IGRNYC) - Alliance Participating Organization (APO)

Italian Greyhound Rescue NYC (IGRNYC) is a service provided for Italian Greyhounds that have been abandoned at animal shelters, taken from abusive homes, or surrendered by their owners. These displaced Italian Greyhounds are fostered in member homes, where their health and temperament are evaluated. All dogs are taken for a veterinary check-up: vaccinations are updated, the animal is neutered/spayed and, if necessary, its teeth are cleaned. Each Italian Greyhound is evaluated so that it can be placed in a home suitable to both the dog and new owners.

Italian Greyhound Rescue NYC is a member of the New York Breed Rescue Network of the Mayor's Alliance.
