I am self employed and President of Texas Italian Greyhound Rescue. I have been involved in rescue since 2001. My passion are the sighthounds. They hold a very special place in my heart, but I am an animal lover in general.
I decided to board Italian Greyhounds and Whippets in my home because of my involvement in rescue and the constant contacts that I meet through adoption. At one time or another, people go out of town for vacation, business or other reasons. I know when I have to be away, I want someone I can trust with my animals to treat them as I would. That is why I decided to offer daycare and boarding in my home for IG's and Whippets.
It is my personal expectation to provide your dog with the love it would receive from you while you are away.
