Izzy

My story

ABOUT ME… Hi! I’m Izzy, and I am part of the Kentucky Three that arrived at CO•PAW when our shelter was destroyed in storms. I had suffered from Kennel Depression and lost a lot of weight and was pretty reserved when I came here. My personality is out and I’m just so happy. I have heard my foster family describe me as an absolute sweetheart - I love every person I meet. I can’t wait to be friends! No matter where we go, I will make new friends - whether they’re human or furry. I MUST meet every dog I see. My tail goes so fast it may cause injuries if you’re in its path. I won’t bark at another dog unless they bark at me (they started it). I’m pretty quiet. I don’t even like barking at the door. But I do like toys! They’re great. I would love to play with you outside and inside. I would also love to be able to spend time around you - in the same room as you, curled up in a cozy dog bed, on the couch, in your bed, staring out the window… I am a good listener, and am told I am going to be an amazing companion for some lucky person or people. Please don’t forget I am still young and learning, but very eager to make you happy and proud. I AM GREAT WITH… kids (I light up when I see kids and love to play with them! I can still get a little too excited with smaller kids, but my foster mom is working with me on this.), other dogs (all sizes), and cats. I am great with men and women. I AM STILL WORKING ON… Some manners. I’m an eager and quick learner, and definitely food motivated. Leash training - I would really benefit from a good harness and training treats here. Crate training (being able to stay in there without crying) - my foster parents let me sleep in their room and crate me when no one is home. I AM NOT GOOD WITH… Being left unattended around food, I will eat it. I am a counter-surfer. I REQUIRE… A fenced in yard - preferably 6’. I am athletic and will jump a 4’ fence if motivated. VETTING... ~All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. ~If booster shots have not been completed prior to adoption, they may be completed at our clinic in Columbus, OH at no additional expense.
