Harvey – Chicago Italian Greyhound Available for Adoption
Harvey needs a Forever Home! Through no fault of his own, Harvey finds himself in need of a new forever home. His current human companion can no longer provide the care that he feels Harvey deserves and so with a heavy heart he writes this in hopes of finding the perfect family for his beloved canine companion: “Harvey is an extremely loving IG who craves a lot of affection. He is most comfortable around quiet, calm people, but loves a long rambunctious play time as well. He was once very shy around new people, but he has come to love meeting new people and being the center of attention. At the end of the day, though, give him a warm body to curl up to and he’s never been happier. Because he craves affection so much, he would do best in a home where he is not left alone for too long. He loves being in his crate when I’m away at work and feels very safe there (especially if you put a heating pad under it for added warmth), but if left alone for too long he becomes anxious and has accidents. He really needs a regular routine to feel safe and calm, so living in a household with a regular routine (of people coming and going) would be ideal. He hasn’t been around kids much and tends to be jumpy around them — I think it’s just because kids make more unexpected movements and noises.He also LOVES other dogs — the bigger the better. The only down side of this is that his energy is endless and the dogs he is playing with usually tire out before he does! Harv’s biggest need is love, and once you meet him, you’ll fall in love.” www.romprescue.com/adoption-application/
Harvey is beautiful. He looks like one of my Iggies.. I have been an Italian Greyhound owner for over 26 years. I recently lost my beloved “Duke” of 17.5 years. I would love to adopt Harvey. He would have other IG companions to play with and he can cuddle up in bed with me and my other Iggies! Harvey will be given so much love and affection. He will never experience long hours alone.
We are sorry for your loss of Duke and thank you for your interest in Harvey! However, he gets ‘jealous’ and is best suited for a home where he will be an only dog. But, we do have 2 other Iggies that are in foster care that are not viewable yet which may be a better fit for your pack! If you are interested, please fill out an adoption application found here: https://romprescue.com/adoption-application/
Thank you!

I was very close to an Italian Greyhound who recently passed away. I had no idea this breed was so loving -I’m hooked. I keep seeing Harvey and can’t believe he hasn’t been adopted yet. He sounds and looks perfect, I would love to have him in my life. Please let me know the next step.
Thank you for your interest in him, we are still accepting applications for his forever family and would love to hear from you. Please fill out an adoption application at https://romprescue.com/adoption-application/ Keep in mind he is best suited for a family where he will be the only pet and with a family that does not leave him alone for long periods of time. He is such a sweet dog, we hope you are the perfect fit! If you have any questions: info@ROMPRescue.com
I filled out the application on Saturday afternoon. I’m a little anxious/excited – lol. Just making sure you received it.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yes, we did receive it. It’s been a busy week but hopefully Liz (our adoption coordinator and founder) will get back to you soon! Thank you!
I appreciate the update. Thank you so much!
Hi, I haven’t heard anything regarding my application for Harvey – just wondering if I’m still a consideration or not. I’m sure there are a lot of people interested in him. Would love to be his
new “mom”.
