Izzy

Meet Izzy Izzy is a very loving, playful and medium energy dog. She’s estimated to be approximately 3 years old. She is a bully breed with a short and stocky body, weighing around 45 pounds. Izzy has the cutest wiggle butt and loves to greet you with toys when you walk through the door. She’s pure love. When Izzy meets new people for the first time, she’s a little shy. When Izzy was found, her body showed the signs of a difficult life. Despite this, Izzy has shown to be the sweetest and calmest dog ever. She looked abused and beaten. Her scars on her back tell you the story. She was skinny and had some skin issues. She desperately wanted to be with living people to help her feel safe. Since then, she has healed well, has adjusted beautifully to being part of a family and is thriving. Sadly, as a result of being neglected previously, and not being given heartworm prevention, she is currently heartworm positive but she has started treatment and will complete her treatment at the end of January. After a week of getting used to the routine at her foster home, the foster’s kids, dogs and daily life, she started coming out of her shell and taking interest in the other dogs in the home. She started playing with them and with her toys. Izzy loves to play fetch. Her foster home includes 5 dogs of different sizes and temperaments and she did not have any problems with either of them. She is extremely dog friendly. She does specifically well with smaller dogs. She lays next to the bigger dogs as well as smaller dogs. She walks moderately well on a leash and even walks well off leash too. She’s very loving to her humans. She loves to follow her family around throughout the house. She loves to be in the same room you are in when you’re sleeping or cooking or just chilling. Izzy can be a little skittish of men in the beginning, especially if approached fast or very loudly. However, she has never shown any kind of aggression. Once she feels safe she is as sweet with men as with women. Izzy is a great companion and family dog. She’s wonderful with kids and other dogs, of course with proper introduction. She loves to play with all the dogs and she loves all kinds of doggy toys. She would do good in homes with kids and playful dogs with a sweet temperament. Izzy is currently being fostered in Texas but available to transport to approved adopter in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada.
