Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Izzy (short for Isabella because I’m so bella!)
ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY?
I’m a gorgeous girl!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I was born on November 29, 2018.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
Just the most perfect Boxer/Pit Bull mix!
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I’m 80 pounds of pure love!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I’m a classic, fawn Boxer beauty with soulful brown eyes and natural black eyeshadow.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I’ll pretty much eat anything but have a soft spot for cheese! Can you blame me, though? Cheese is life!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I am goofy and playful but also love a good cuddle sesh. I’m loyal to my humans and adore little kids!
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
Oh that’s easy! My perfect day would start with a long walk, popping some bubbles or chasing a ball, then some quality couch time with my humans, followed by a nice long nap.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
Anything that squeaks will not squeak for very long when I get my paws on it!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I’m good with the basics, sit, stay, leave it, and wait! I am very food motivated, so if you want me to learn more, bring on the treats!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
On leash, I am sometimes nervous about other dogs, so I can be very protective of my humans.
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?
I LOVE children, especially little ones! I am so tolerant of their shenanigans, although I appreciate when my humans step in when they start to get a little handsy with me!
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
Oh, no thanks. I’ll pass on cats!
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I love playing with other dogs, especially puppies. As I mentioned earlier, I can get uncomfortable with some dogs when on leash. I’m practicing and getting better, treats can help!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
It doesn’t matter where I am as long as we’re together. Right beside my human is the best place in the world!
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I’m very healthy but getting some arthritis in my hind legs because I’m a big girl.
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with two adults and two children under five years old. My foster mom is my super-favorite person in the world right now, although those littles sure are a lot of fun!
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I chill. Sometimes on the couch, sometimes on the floor. I take myself out and like to find cool spots in the house.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
Pretty flexible! Couch, floor, dog bed. A crate if I must but I like crates the least.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
A leash means walks! I love walking on a leash!
DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
I love my family! Sometimes when I’m on leash I have a hard time telling between friend or foe. Even though I’m big, that doesn’t stop me from acting like a puppy. I am willing to learn, so let’s spend some time working together and have some fun bonding while you teach me what you want me to do!
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)
Yes, I am! No problems there! Make sure you tell me where and I’ll stick to it.
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I’m not much of a swimmer but I love getting in the water and playing with the hose. Maybe you can teach me how to swim?
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love spending time with my foster family, especially all the cuddles. The best is when I get to hang out with the kids.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I was born in an animal shelter in Oakland. I had a wonderful family and was very loved. But they had to move out of the country and couldn’t take me, so now NorCal Bully Breed Rescue is helping me with this next chapter of my life. I would love to meet you and be a part of your family forever!
