About Izzy

Izzy is a sweet and loving 10-year-old German Shepherd ready for her forever home. At 65 lbs, she's a calm companion who loves cuddling on the couch and enjoys gentle walks. Despite living with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), which requires a special diet, she carries an affectionate spirit and a loyal demeanor. Izzy does best as the only dog in the household, though she's lived with cats before and tends to show interest in them. Her ideal home should be one where she can relax and share her loving nature with her new family. This November, the rescue faces an urgent situation due to structural damage at their facility, and they need to place Izzy and others in loving homes quickly. Please consider adopting her, or share her story to help find her a safe haven. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
