Izzy is a happy and healthy girl! She is good with people and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. Izzy has a rough start in life. However, it doesnt stop her from loving and trusting humans. She can be a little shy at first. However, there is not a mean bone in her. It doesnt take her long to warm up. Izzy is doing well in her foster home and ready for a forever home. Izzy started some leash training and is learning at a good pace. She is crate-trained and doing well on her house training. We are looking for a committed family to give Izzy a loving home and continue with her socialization.

Izzys Rescue Story

Izzy and Izza were abandoned in the mountains. They must have been starving for quite some time. They were so hungry and were so happy when a kind volunteer gave them some food. They quickly gave in and followed her to her car.

TNR rescue groups specialize in getting stray animals spayed and neutered and the animals are returned to their original location to live as homeless dogs. TNR programs help with the overpopulation of unwanted animals. The volunteer caring for them loves them and didnt want to see them back on the streets. The volunteer reached out to an experienced international rescue organization to help with them and some other puppies that are still too young to be released back to the streets. The founder of the rescue organization has over 160 dogs waiting for homes. She really does not have space for another dog. However, she could not bear to see them suffering on the streets. She agreed to take them home and give them a chance in life.

Izzy & Izza had a thorough medical checkup. They had been spayed, vaccinated, microchip, and passed negative on their blood tests. Please give Izzy a loving home to grow up.
