Nori the Iggy

My original name is Noir, but everyone calls me Nori (it's easier to say). I am an Italian Greyhound and my humans brought me to my forever home on December 1, 2013. I was bred over and over for the first 5 1/2 years of my life, living in a cramped cage, just so my breeders could make money from all of my puppies over and over again. That's right, I am a puppy mill survivor.

I don't have many teeth left because the vet had to pull 16 of them when I was rescued and then I was so deathly afraid of humans that I tried to climb my kennel at the rescue and I broke my leg when I fell. Because I didn't do so well in a kennel, I was placed with Miss Molly, my loving foster mom and I started to thrive! Miss Molly was Lil Olive's foster mom before me so she knew exactly how to help me adjust and learn about my freedom.

My humans came to the rescue and took me home that very same day! My daddy had an IG named Slinkie that went over the rainbow bridge in 2012 at 14 1/2 so I know my humans know how to care for me and my breed. I'm still pretty shy to the human touch but I'm working on that part and my big sister Jessy the black lab is helping me a whole lot. Oh, and I LOVE food! And now I have a brudder named Luigi, or Weeg for short. He came home in February 2015 and little is known about him as he was moved from shelter to shelter until daddy found him and went to get him. Weeg has no teeth, so he isn't scary, but he is a whiner. He whines A LOT, and he smells like boy.

Follow me and my adventures here and see what kind of mischief I can get into! And please PLEASE, always speak for those who have no voice.
