Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Italian Greyhound / Mixed. Meet Princess Ivy. This adorable 12lb Italian Greyhound mix is truly a sweetheart. Ivy was surrendered back to CAWS after being a pampered princess for the last 7 years due to her mom becoming terminally ill. She's confused and doesn't know why she lost her home but she's eager to love and be loved. She's very smart and is 100% potty trained, walks well on a leash, is a little timid, but good with dogs and people. She used to live with 2 golden retrievers who she would snuggle with. Her mom believes she would do well with another dog in the home to show her the ropes. She's also okay being the only princess in the house. Ivy is used to being with her person all day every day and would do best with someone who is home during the day. She is a fairly quiet dog and would do well in any type of home including a home with shared walls. Ivy is overall very healthy but she did originally came to CAWS over 7 years ago from a hoarding situation and is a little anxious, therefore she is on a fairly inexpensive anti-anxiety medication that she will need to take everyday. She also has a sensitive stomach and is on special dog food so her tummy feels good. She is the best companion and will become a velcro dog as she learns to trust you. She deserves to go to a home who will spoil her the way she's used to being spoiled. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $200.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Italian Greyhuahua is a captivating hybrid breed, combining the spirited charm of the Chihuahua with the elegant grace of the Italian Greyhound. Originating from designer breed programs, these small companions typically inherit a slender, delicate build, often with the distinctive large ears of the Chihuahua and the refined muzzle of the Italian Greyhound. Their coats are generally short and smooth, coming in a variety of colors. Temperamentally, they are known for being affectionate and loyal, though they can exhibit a lively, sometimes feisty, personality. They are generally good for apartment living due to their size and moderate exercise needs, and can thrive in families that understand their need for a gentle environment and consistent training. Health-wise, potential concerns include patellar luxation, dental issues (common in Chihuahuas), and sensitivity to cold due to their thin coats. Early socialization is key to nurturing a well-rounded and confident companion.
