Chihuahua and Italian Greyhound Dogs Available for Adoption in Gainesville, Florida

Meet Esther (Essie)!
Essie, like Ray, has come a long way from when they were rescued and in horrible condition. Essie loves her humans and wants to be where they are. She gets the zoomies and will run around the house either by herself or with another friend. She also loves her food!! She loves sleeping right next to you on the couch and under the covers next to you in bed. Essie still has accidents inside but is getting better at peeing on the pad. She is great in her crate as well when we're gone. She gets along with the rest of the pack but RayRay is her best friend. If they could be adopted together that would be awesome. She is very playful and would love a big backyard to tear around in.

These dogs are gentle, intelligent, and loyal companions that thrive on human companionship. They excel in agility and obedience activities, and their short coat requires minimal grooming. Despite their delicate appearance, Italian Greyhounds are surprisingly resilient and energetic, enjoying playful activities and romps in a secure outdoor area. Their loving personalities and expressive eyes make them a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a charming and devoted pet.
