Meet Izy

Izy is a 5 year old petite female GSD who weighs about 55 pounds. She spent the majority of her life at a breeding kennel producing multiple litters of puppies. Happily those days are over for this sweet girl.

Izy is an affectionate dog who seeks out attention. When you approach her she wags her tail like crazy. She is a moderate energy dog who is happy just hanging out with her person. Daily walks around a neighborhood would provide adequate exercise for this girl, although she would be happy to do more.

Izy is house trained, kennel trained and crate trained. She knows how to use a dog door to go outside. In her foster home she has free run of the house at night. She doesn’t beg, counter surf or get into trash. Izy rides well in the car and is very good when visiting the vet.

Since coming into Rescue Izy has lived in 2 foster homes. She shared one home with an 11 year old female standard schnauzer. She wanted to play with her but at times had a little bit too much energy for the senior dog. She currently is fostered with 4 large male & female German Shepherds and gets alone fine with them in spite of the difference in size.

Izy has met many visitors. In the home she meets strangers with a wary curiosity but with a wagging tail. Within minutes she seeks out attention from visitors.

Izy is cat tested and is “cat workable”. This means she may be fine in the right home with the right cat. She currently lives with 2 indoor cats and is free with them day & night. She does show intense interest in the barn cat and there is no doubt she will chase a cat that runs.

Izy has not lived with children. We expect she would be fine with children, but we recommend she go to a family that is not too busy with kid activities. Adopters interested in Izy should understand that as she transitions to a new home she will need time to adjust and build confidence. At the start she may be shy.

Izy would make a wonderful companion for a senior. A home with a fenced yard is highly recommended as she resists going potty on leash.

Izy's former owner provided her with very little medical care, to the detriment of her teeth. Prior to coming into rescue the vet removed 10 teeth. Happily, she is fine eating normal kibble.

This sweet girl deserves a normal life after being used for so many years to produce puppies.
