About Izzy

Izzy is a 3-year-old female Akita with a classic Akita personality—independent and spirited, yet sweet with those she trusts. She came in as a stray, so her backstory is a bit of a mystery, but she's shown herself to be both energetic and genuinely affectionate with her caregivers. Izzy is housebroken and has provided every sign that she's ready for her own home. Due to her breed traits, she's not suitable for homes with children. Akita experience is a must, and if you already have dogs, a meet and greet will be important to ensure harmony. She will be spayed and her vaccinations, including rabies, are all up to date, so her health care is well handled. If a loyal, strong-willed companion is what you're after, Izzy could be the right fit. Click apply to start the adoption process.
