More about Izzy

Ready   to  Fall  for  Izzy?   Your  Future   Shadow, Walking Partner and  Snuggle   Buddy.    Some dogs bounce into  your life like fireworks. Izzy? She tiptoes in, soft   and enchanting,   and   before   you  know   it,  you’re completely in love.    If you’ve got a soft spot for gentle souls and a heart big enough to help one shine, then read on my friend! She’s sweet, smart, and oh-so-worth it. One special person is all she needs.     Izzy truly prefers the company of women, though with enough patience and wooing, she’ll also warm up to gentle-hearted men. She’s still learning to feel comfortable around children, so a home with more mature and calm family members is best for now.        This gorgeous 2-year-old Lab mix has been waiting for the right person to find her. At 50 lbs, Izzy is that “just right” size: big enough for adventures, small enough for cuddles. Her favorite place in the world? Curled up next to you or nestled beside a doggy friend she trusts.  She’d thrive in a suburban home with a steady rhythm and another happy, confident dog to help her continue blooming. She’s peacefully coexisting with cats, sometimes ignoring them, sometimes not so politely stepping over them on her way to the best cuddle spot.   Izzy is a quiet spirit, so sweet and occasionally a real comedian. She’s come so far already. Having anxiety, she is expanding her bravery bubble a little bit every day. She now gladly rides in the car, strolls curiously through remote parks, and practices her leash manners on quiet walks. She knows “sit,” and is learning “stay,” “wait,” “place,” “heel,” “walk,” “left,” and “right,”. She eagerly anticipates her meals, heading outside to potty, then bouncing about as bowls are filled, finally sitting and waiting for permission to eat when her meal is delivered. She’s also crate-trained, house-trained, and sleeps peacefully beside you in bed or at the bedroom door, always keeping gentle watch.     Loud noises like thunder or fireworks can still rattle her (who can blame her?), but calm chews, Rescue Remedy, and a loud TV help her feel safe. Baths? Rain? Not her favorite. But we’re holding out hope that one day she’ll discover the joy of splashing in puddles.       Izzy is what we lovingly call a “yo-yo dog”: she bravely stretches her wings, explores a little, and then zips right back to your side for safety and reassurance. Yet every step she takes is a step forward, and with your love, she’ll keep soaring higher.       Let’s start the conversation, she’s ready when you are.
