Biography: We have been fostering Izzy since August, and now it’s time to help her find the forever home she deserves.
Izzy came to us after a friend found her as a stray outside of town. After several months of trying to locate her original owner, we volunteered to foster her. At her initial vet visit, she was estimated to be around 3 years old.

Izzy is a very sweet, smart, and affectionate dog. Even though she is around 3, she still has plenty of puppy energy and loves to play. She can get a little mouthy during playtime with people and other pets, but she responds very well to redirection and is very eager to learn and please. She did really well with our 11-year-old daughter and our 6-year-old doodle, making us believe she could be a great addition to the right family.

Izzy has attended several training sessions to help her become more comfortable walking on a leash but she is still reactive to other dogs while on leash and occasionally gets nervous around large trucks/cars. She has made progress with training, but she would benefit from a patient owner who can continue to work with her on leash training and walking.

She is also an escape artist, so a home with a fenced yard is a must. She has always found her way back when she has gotten out, and her recall is pretty good when called to come.

Izzy is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations.

Does the dog have any medical issues? No

Does the dog have any history of aggression such as growling, lunging, snapping or biting any adult or child? No

Does the dog have any history of aggression toward other animals? No

Reason for re-homing? We have absolutely loved having Izzy in our home and would happily keep her if we could. She is such a kind and loving dog but needs someone who can give her the exercise and additional leash training she deserves.
