Zippo the Italian Greyhound/Maltese

I have to tell you, Zippo is a doll!!! I met him at Tuskawilla Oaks Animal Hospital when I happened to be there with one of our cats. Madeline, his rescuer, had brought him in. What a great dog! Bright eyed, sweet spirited. Madeline found him on a bike trail in an area frequented by wild dogs. She told her self that if he was still there when she looped back, she'd take him. When she came back half an hour later, he leapt into her arms! Zippo has the slender build of an Italian Greyhound with wispy hair like a Maltese. He looked as cute as a pumpkin next to Jasmine, our Great Dane. He really is unique looking and remarkably loving. What a sweetheart!!!

Zippo has found his forever home. In fact, he was adopted by his foster mom. I will share the martingale suggestion with her. Thank you!

my italian greyhound is great on a leash and he barks ALL the time, like when he's playing with you or everytime he hears something strange. when i put a harness on him it just rubbed his skin but I see you dont have that problem since he's half maltese so hes got some hair lol. Does he shed?

I have both an IG and a Maltese! What a cool mix, and yeah, wow! that is fly away hair! Glad he found a great home!

What a little sweetheart! I can just tell from past experience, he's looking to you for reassurance. Once he's secure he'll make a wonderful companion!

You may want to try a martingale collar w/lead rather than a harness.
