About Izzy

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Meet Izzy, a stunning Boxer/American Staffordshire Terrier mix whose nickname, Isabella, is a testament to how beautiful she is! Izzy is a gorgeous adult female with a classic fawn coat, soulful brown eyes, and natural black markings that highlight her unforgettable face. Weighing in at 80 pounds, she is all about love—especially if cheese is involved! Izzy is the perfect combination of playful and cuddly. She adores long walks, popping bubbles, fetching squeaky toys, and snuggling on the couch with her people. She’s loyal and especially fond of little kids, tolerating their playful antics with endless patience. Her fun-loving personality shines through whether she’s chasing a ball or soaking in some water from the hose. Izzy knows her basic commands—sit, stay, leave it, and wait—and is keen to learn more, especially if treats are part of the deal. She is house trained and happiest when she can decide on her own cozy spots around the home—whether it’s the couch, the floor, or a dog bed. Izzy lives harmoniously in her foster home with two adults and two young children, making her an excellent addition for families. While she is eager to meet other large dogs with patient, structured introductions, she prefers not to share her home with small dogs or cats. On leash, she can be a bit protective and will benefit from continued gentle guidance during walks. Izzy’s perfect day is spent with her humans, filled with adventures and rest. She is healthy and spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and is patiently waiting for that special family to start her new chapter. Born November 29, Izzy is a Sagittarius—a sun sign known for optimism, joy, and adventurous spirits! Please note: Izzy is looking for adopters in the Sacramento and immediate surrounding areas. She cannot be adopted out of this region. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
