top of pageAdopted Dogs - Fall 2015Tommy - A nine-year old Italian Greyhound / Border Collie in CTWelcome to Italian Greyhound Place, Tommy!Tommy is a nine-year old, thirty-two pound Italian Greyhound / Border Collie with a wonderful personality and lots of love to give his new person (or people).
Tending to act like a much younger dog than he is, Tommy has a medium activity level, enjoys squeaky toys and exploring, likes to cuddle, and is a bit of a “velcro” dog, following his person/people around the house (he also enjoys sleeping at the end of the bed under covers).
Tommy is housetrained (no accidents), travels nicely by car, and is doing well with his crate training - hecurrently goes to work with his foster or is crated when left alone. Although Tommy tends to pull on-leash, that is improving with the use of an EZwalk Harness. He is not much of a barker, only barking when someone is at the door, when the resident dog barks, or, occasionally, when initially crated.There were no children in Tommy’s previous home, but he has been excellent with the children he has met, seeming to really enjoy them. He is good with cats, but it is probably best if the cats are dog savvy as he can be a bit curious or pokey with them. When visiting a farm, he was very good and quiet – non-reactive around horses and a bit curious about chickens.
