My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Isabel, a gentle and loving 8-year-old American Foxhound who weighs in at 73 pounds of sweetness! Isabel is a calm, intelligent girl who thrives on human companionship and is eager to be the center of your world. She’s affectionate, loyal, and looking for a family who will give her all the love and attention she deserves.
Isabel is a smart pup who loves to learn, and she’s proven herself to be an eager student! She’s completed both basic and advanced obedience classes, so she knows all her commands and is reliable when it comes to following instructions. Training is a breeze for Isabel—especially if there are tasty treats involved! While she’s mastered many skills, there’s one area where she could still use some work: leash training. Isabel tends to pull, especially if there’s a bunny in sight, so she’s looking for a patient owner who can help her work on this skill.
Isabel’s story is one of resilience. Thanks to being microchipped as a puppy, we know more about her than many of our rescue dogs. She was born on November 6, 2016, and was originally adopted as a puppy from a rescue in Merrifield, Virginia. Unfortunately, Isabel’s life took a tragic turn when, in 2023, she ended up at the Prince William County Shelter. In July 2023, she was adopted by a man who was living in a travel trailer in a Missouri RV park. When his family called in a welfare check after losing contact with him, police discovered that he had passed away, and Isabel had been alone in the trailer for several days without heat in subzero temperatures. The man’s family released Isabel to our rescue, and we drove all the way to Missouri to bring her to safety.
Despite this heartbreaking experience, Isabel has remained loving and gentle. She has great house manners and can be left loose when her humans are away. Isabel currently lives with another large dog in her foster home, but she’s not interested in playing with him—she’d prefer to be the only dog in her home, as she’s probably spent most of her life as the sole pet. She’s a bit possessive and doesn’t share well, but that’s just because she loves her space and wants to be the center of attention. Isabel enjoys chewing on her Benebones and being close to her people, making her an ideal companion for a quiet home where she can relax and feel secure.
Isabel does require a physically fenced yard where she can safely run and play. She loves to get some exercise outdoors and enjoys being able to stretch her legs in a secure environment.
Isabel is house trained, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped. She’s ready to find her forever home and is looking for a family who can give her the care, love, and attention she’s always deserved.
