About Isabelle

Isabelle is an 8-year-old Bluetick Coonhound/English Pointer mix in Chamblee, GA. She is reserved at first, carrying a gentle but cautious heart that needs time to trust. If you move slowly and let her come to you, Isabelle gradually reveals her affectionate side. She’s not especially outgoing with strangers and prefers introductions at her own pace; a quiet, steady environment helps her settle in. Noisy situations or high-energy households aren’t for Isabelle. She’s sensitive to loud sounds and is happiest in a calm home where routines are predictable and voices stay soft. Isabelle gets along well with other calm dogs and even with cats, especially if they respect her space. Having a laid-back canine companion could give her confidence, but it isn’t required—she just wants to feel safe. If you admire shy dogs and believe in giving them plenty of time to blossom, Isabelle offers a deep bond in return. She delights in cozy beds, gentle touches, and peaceful routines, aiming for a simple life with people who genuinely care. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
