A lovely Italian Greyhound needs a home - ***UPDATED WITH INFO*** !PICTURE ADDED!
No... it's not Lilly 
A woman on the IG board I am on has to give up her 1 year old male named Dante. He's neutered and up to date on his shots. I'm not sure of the actual specifics of why he has to leave, but he's with a foster family right now and the foster mom can't keep him for much longer...
If there is anyone interested, please let me know!
Ok - here's his story. We met him last night - he's absolutely gorgeous! Social, loving, playful - I have pictures, I'll upload them when I get home from work this afternoon. He is in a foster home right now. His original owner cannot keep him. Bear with me as I try to explain this withough being confusing. Dante was bought for Mia (age 25) after she moved out of her parent's house. She was lonely and her parents bought her a dog to keep her company. She tried to make it work, but with her work hours, she feels that she can't keep the dog and the only fair thing to do is to give him up. It's not entirely her fault - the parent's were at fault here. She didn't ask for a dog - they pretty much showed up on her doorstep with Dante. Fanca, the foster mom, only has him until about 5:00 this afternoon, then he is going back to Mia's parents until he can be placed out. They are looking at surrending him to IG rescue in CT, as there are homes that are on a waiting list for an IG up there.
I was within inches of bringing him home with me last night. He and Lilly got along like they have known each other forever. By the end of our visit, they were snuggling in the same bed. If I didn't know for sure that Rick would divorce me for bringing him home, he sould have been ours. Whatever family ends up with sweet Dante will not regret it.
If you think you might be interested, please FM me your contact info and I'll pass it on to the family. I have the contact info for the foster mom, but it's on the IG board, which is blocked here at work.
Seriously - he is a fantastic dog. Just wants to be held and loved. 
Here's Dante

Let's see if this works... For one reason or another, the pictures I took the other night won't transfer from my camera to my computer 
If that didn't work, try clicking on this link Dante the IG
Such a handsome guy
He's the one on the left

Isn't he?
It's breaking my heart that he'll end up in rescue (a wonderful place to be) - I would love to see him be placed in a home here on Long Island! (maybe even an LIF-er's home!)

I wish we had time for a dog right now. I'd take him in a minute. It would just be unfair with our current work schedules for the poor baby to be home alone that long. I  he finds a great home.
