"Izzy is a sweet and ultra cute 3 yr old Canaan Dog originally from Israel! Izzy is house-trained, crate trained and loves dogs. Izzy is a sensitive girl and takes time to warm up to new situations and environments. With proper acclimation, Izzy attends doggy daycare, rides in cars, and boards at kennels with ease. True to the Canaan Dog breed, Izzy is wary of strangers, and requires help and management dealing with unfamiliar people approaching or entering her home. Once she trusts you, she is an affectionate sweetheart who loves treats and belly rubs. Izzy’s favorite form of exercise is playing with other dogs. Once tired out, she happily snoozes the day away. She would greatly benefit from having a confident dog sibling to help show her the ropes. Will transport Izzy to the right home."

Izzy's guardian describes her ideal future home:
| "Izzy’s ideal home would be quiet or rural with property for her to explore and run around. I think she would thrive with a dog sibling to help build her confidence and feel comfortable in her situations. Izzy does not need a lot of attention or walks, she just needs a patient home that will make her feel safe and loved." | | |
