Izzy Needs a Foster or Adopter by July 11 to Secure Her Ride to Wisconsin

Izzy is currently in Georgia and needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to secure her spot on transport to Cedarburg, Wisconsin with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on July 11. This sweet girl is looking for a family willing to give her the love and understanding she deserves.

Meet Izzy

Izzy is a 1-year-old Plott Hound mix (best guess) weighing 48 pounds. She came into rescue as an owner surrender through no fault of her own and is now hoping for a fresh start with a family that will appreciate just how special she is.

One of the first things you'll notice about Izzy is her adorable underbite. While it certainly adds to her charm, it also means she has some special feeding needs. Due to the severity of her underbite, Izzy cannot comfortably eat from a bowl placed on the ground. She does best eating wet food or kibble softened with water from a raised feeder. With this simple accommodation, she does very well and enjoys her meals without difficulty.

Aside from her feeding setup, Izzy is an absolutely wonderful dog. She is affectionate, gentle, and loves being around people. Despite her unique needs, she doesn't let anything slow her down and approaches life with a happy attitude and a wagging tail. She is currently in a foster home in Georgia while she waits for her ride to Wisconsin.

Izzy is looking for a foster or adoptive home that understands her feeding requirements and is willing to provide the small adjustments she needs to thrive. In return, you'll get a loyal, loving companion who is grateful for every bit of kindness she receives.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Plott Hound, known for its striking brindle coat, is a devoted and fearless hunting dog with a rich history. Originating in North Carolina, this breed excels in tracking and treeing game, particularly wild boar and bears. The Plott Hound is renowned for its stamina, intelligence, and independence, making it an ideal companion for active individuals or families looking for a loyal and hardworking canine partner in a variety of outdoor activities.
