Introducing Izzy, a gorgeous and delightful 44-lb bundle of love. Izzy is a recent arrival from the shelter and settling in her foster home. A sweet and affectionate girl, she brings joy and love to everyone she's met. While initially hesitant about going in her crate as she doesn't want to miss out on anything, she quickly settles down and enjoys a peaceful night’s sleep.
With just a little patience and encouragement, she is learning the ropes of house training and now understands that outside is the place to go instead of holding until she can't. Izzy's well-mannered and incredibly friendly—enjoying the company of humans and other dogs. Her gentle nature shines through as she eats calmly alongside her furry friends and happily engages with everyone around her with leaps and bounces. We'll work on the leaps since Izzy loves treats and likes to please. She loves to play and interact, often trying to join the fun when the resident shepherds are playing. The resident shepherds like her, and she respects the senior shepherd and the standard poodle with lots of deference, reserving her energy for the younger shepherds.
This playful shepherd is also treat-motivated, has a soft mouth, and knows how to sit on command, making her a joy to train. Izzy is curious and unbothered by the hustle and bustle of everyday life, as shown when she curiously watches the Roomba before opting for some outdoor adventure instead. She loves to have her people in view, typical of her breed, settled and snoozing if they aren't ready to interact with her. Izzy also loves collecting her assorted toys and random shoes into dog beds and snuggling right into her people when allowed on the bed.
Izzy loves toys, and slippers are her favorite napping companions. She can either put her nose in the slippers or use them as pillows.
Stay tuned for updates. Izzy was recently spayed, and we'll let her heal for a few more days before we take her adopt button live.
Will you be the one to welcome her into your heart and home when her adoption button goes live?
