About Tarzan

Tarzan is an adorable Italian Greyhound ready for a loving home. This playful little guy originally came to us from South Korea and can be a bit shy around new people. However, once he feels comfortable, he's full of affection and charm. Sudden movements and loud noises can unsettle him, so a quieter home without young children is ideal for his well-being. Currently recovering from surgery to correct a knee issue, he will need a restricted activity regimen through 2026 to help him regain his strength. For those interested in adopting, it’s important to be aware of the adoption process and Tarzan's need for a calm environment. He’s neutered and up to date on vaccinations.
