Izzy - Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

Hi, I'm Izzy! I'm a 3-month-old, 17 lb. female Terrier mix with a sweet personality, a playful puppy spirit, and quite the story for such a young girl.

My journey started at a shelter in California, where my future was looking very uncertain. I was at risk of being euthanized and running out of time when The Asher House stepped in and gave me the second chance I desperately needed. Instead of my story ending there, I was brought to safety and given the opportunity to start a whole new life.

Unfortunately, getting out of the shelter wasn't the end of my challenges. I became very sick with parvo and needed to be hospitalized. Parvo can be especially dangerous for young puppies like me, but thankfully I received the medical care and support I needed to fight through it.

And this little fighter did just that!

I'm now fully recovered, feeling so much better, and finally getting the opportunity to simply enjoy being a puppy. After everything I've been through, I'm more than ready for days filled with playing, exploring, learning new things, and getting all the love I can possibly soak up.

I'm dog, cat, and kid friendly, so I have the potential to fit into many different types of families. At only 3 months old, I'm still just a baby, which means my forever family will get to be there for so many of my firsts. I'll need continued guidance with potty training, leash walking, socialization, basic manners, and all of the other important things that come along with raising a puppy.

My life came very close to ending before it had really even begun. I've already fought through more than most puppies should ever have to, and now I'm ready to put all of that behind me.

I survived. I'm getting stronger every day. And now I'm ready for the best part of my story-a forever family of my very own!

My adoption fee is $495 and I have my age-appropriate vaccines and am microchipped.
