About Renzo & Dexter

Renzo & Dexter are a truly adorable duo looking for their forever home together. Renzo, a five-year-old Italian Greyhound, is as sweet as he is stunning. He loves to be close to his people and is always eager to be your little shadow. His playful nature shines through when he runs or engages in tug-of-war. Just a heads-up, like many male Iggys, he occasionally needs a quick wipe-down after bathroom breaks due to his tendency to pee on his leg or chest. Then there's Dexter, a seven-year-old Chihuahua who is also a total cuddle bug. He adores lounging in laps and can go for miles on walks, as long as he can keep pace with his brother. Fetch is his favorite game, although he prefers not to share the ball with Renzo. He may take a moment to warm up to new folks but a little treat or love will win him over quickly. His strong bond with Renzo is apparent, and together they make quite the pair. Adopting them means you’ll get double the love and companionship. They are best in a home where they’ll receive plenty of attention, playtime, and love from a family or couple that’s home often. These two precious boys are ready for their happily-ever-after in a loving home where they can thrive together.
