Isabella is a 1-year-old Whippet/Boxer mix with a soft, gentle soul and a striking bicolor coat with white and brown markings. Her world changed when her owner became ill and made the heartbreaking decision to find Isabella a safer future. The overnight shift from a familiar home to shelter life left Isabella a bit reserved at first, but nothing dampens her sweetness or curiosity for long. She soaks up affection once she feels secure, and shows her playful, silly side in the company of other dogs. Canine friends put Isabella at ease, and she comes alive when she's outdoors, running and chasing in pure joy. Her confidence is building every day thanks to the patience and kindness she’s found in rescue. She does best in calm, steady environments and appreciates time to settle in—she’ll reward that patience by forming a strong bond with her people. Isabella is spayed, fully vaccinated, crate trained, and handles her leash well. She’s also house trained, cat friendly, and gets along with children. If you’re hoping for a loyal, affectionate companion who enjoys gentle routines and quiet moments, Isabella is ready to fill that role. She’s set for transport to New York in June but needs an adopter or foster-to-adopt commitment to make the trip. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
