About Bastian and Pippa
Bastian and Pippa are a bonded pair of senior Italian Greyhounds who have spent their whole lives side by side. They are best friends in the truest sense, always together, always looking out for one another, and happiest when they’re curled up together in a warm, soft bed or nestled into your lap for cuddles.
These two gentle seniors have a calm, sweet nature and an easy affection that’s impossible to resist. They adore being close to their humans and will happily spend the day snoozing nearby, keeping you company with quiet loyalty. Both Bastian and Pippa are wonderfully affectionate, delighting in soft blankets, gentle pats, and long, cozy naps in sunny spots.
Together, they strike the perfect balance of peaceful, loving, and deeply bonded. They move through life gently and are a joy to have around.
They’re ideally looking for a calm, stable home with someone who understands the unique needs of the Italian Greyhound breed. Their new person will know that these delicate little dogs thrive on routine, warmth, and companionship and that their sensitivity is part of what makes them so special. A home with limited stairs, no young children, and lots of soft places to rest would suit them perfectly.
Both Bastian and Pippa are house-trained, well-behaved and have recently had a full veterinary check-up and dental procedures. Like many dogs their age, they benefit from a simple, predictable routine and a little extra care, but they are in good health for seniors and continue to enjoy gentle walks, quiet time in the yard, and of course, lots of love.
These two don’t ask for much, just each other, a soft place to land, and a kind human who sees the beauty in older dogs and knows that the best kind of companionship often comes with grey muzzles and gentle hearts.
Given their size and fragility, they would be best suited in a home as the only dogs or potentially with another senior Italian Greyhound.
If you know and love Italian Greyhounds and have room in your heart for a bonded pair of sweet seniors, Bastian and Pippa would love to meet you.

Medical notes
Bastian presented with a heart murmur, has had an echocardiograph (heart ultrasound) which revealed mild heart valve changes. These conditions are not currently impacting his quality of life or daily activities and do not require medication at this point. A repeat heart ultrasound is recommended every 6 months for ongoing monitoring his heart condition.
Bloodwork and ultrasound revealed early kidney changes (mildly increased SDMA), a likely benign liver lesion, and mild enzyme changes possibly related to the liver or pancreas. These findings are not clinically significant at this time.
Overall, Bastian is stable, suitable for anaesthesia at this point, however ongoing veterinary monitoring is recommended.
