Izzy - Border Collie and Boston Terrier Dog for Adoption in Enterprise, Alabama

Meet Izzy Mae!

Izzy Mae is a 12-year-old, 25-pound pup that we believe may be a Border Collie/Boston Terrier mix. Whatever her breed mix is, one thing is certain—she is absolutely full of love and sweetness.

Izzy is a laid-back, easygoing girl who is happy to join in on whatever her family is doing. She loves affection, enjoys playing with other dogs, and always appreciates a good Benebone to chew on. Her favorite thing, though, is simply being near her people. She has the softest, velvety fur and an even softer personality to match.

She gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and children of all ages. We haven't found much that bothers her, and she approaches life with a happy, go-with-the-flow attitude.

Izzy is potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and has made great progress with crate training. She may have protested a little at first, but she now settles in much more easily. She's also an excellent passenger in the car and will happily curl up for a nap while you drive.

Like any young dog, Izzy still has a few things she's working on. If left unsupervised, she may decide that shoes, blankets, or other household items make great chew toys, so keeping appropriate items available and setting her up for success will be important. She also gets very excited to see her favorite people and is learning that greetings are best with all four paws on the floor. And when it comes to other dogs, Izzy assumes everyone wants to be her best friend immediately, so a canine sibling that doesn't mind her enthusiastic lack of personal space would be ideal.

One of her sweetest quirks is the way she asks for attention. Izzy will sit patiently and wait, but if you don't notice her, she'll simply scootch a little closer while staying seated, making sure you know she's there. She'll gladly climb into your lap for some extra love, but she's equally happy curling up nearby with a bone or taking an afternoon nap.

Izzy Mae would make a wonderful addition to a family with kids, other pets, or anyone looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who is always happy just to be included. She truly is a special little girl with so much love to give.
