Welcome to Summit City Sighthounds! We are a group of Sighthound lovers and volunteers devoted to rescue in the sighthound breeds, particularly Italian Greyhounds, Greyhounds, Whippets, and Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
Summit City Sighthounds is NOT a rescue group, but a support network of adoptors and other volunteers who help the local breed rescue representatives who live within the Summit City area (Fort Wayne, Indiana) and the surrounding areas in Northern Indiana. Our common bond is our love for the dogs, and many of us have more than one of these breeds of our own.
The parent rescue groups for our rescue breeds are:
Please visit our Available Rescues pages for each of the breeds, or Happy Beginnings! pages to view the stories and photos of some of our adopted rescues.
One of the biggest functions we try to accomplish is to educate the public about the breeds we know and love, so that the adopted rescues have a better chance at being understood, loved and cared for in permanent homes. We work to make the best possible match between available rescues and the potential adoptive family. If you are looking to adopt one of the breeds we work with, please research thoroughly the information available on the web about the breed. Each of our breed pages has links to information about the national rescue groups with which they are affiliated, as well as information about the breeds. Some of the links we have available on our Rescue Links page may also help.
We also get together throughout the year with our dogs to play and have fun, and to help educate the community about the sighthound breeds. Visit our Play Pages to see photos of some of our members and our dogs!
