Adelaide

@iggyadelaide

Adelaide is a one year old, 9lbs Italian greyhound with a seal and white coat. She loves howling, going to the dog park, making new friends, eating chicken, playing fetch (sort of) and curling up on your lap. She’s been known to demand a lot of attention and show no regrets. You might find her laid out, bathing in a sunshine spot or curled up in her classic cinnamon bun pose. Adelaide has won the hearts of thousands of followers on Instagram.

Fun Fact: Adelaide was born in a litter with 2 other sisters and 4 brothers.
