Story
Izzy
AKA: “Good luck spotting me in a snowstorm!”
Vibe Check:
Doggie Beauty Pageant Queen… but make it gentle, soulful, and soft as a cloud.
Fun Fact:
When Izzy plays in the snow, it becomes a live-action game of Where’s Waldo? (Spoiler: I'm fluffier than Waldo.)
Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge
Age: Golden Oldie — think Sophia from Golden Girls energy. Senior status, much younger than senior attitude.
Weight: 57 lbs of pure, imperial elegance.
Health Notes (HIPAA who?):
Izzy is in remarkable shape for her age!
• Mild arthritis (ARF-ritis!) — managed with Galliprant (about $1 a day)
• Grade 3 heart murmur — no meds needed
• Deaf… or selectively ignoring you. Jury’s out.
Current Residence:
De Pere, WI — patiently waiting for a Green Bay Packer to adopt her because can you even imagine her in a Jordan Love jersey and a yellow-and-green tutu?! Iconic.
Activity Level:
Low-key queen. Walks are her jam. Marathons? Hard pass.
Social Skills:
Dogs? Yes please.
Cats? Let’s cuddle.
Kids? If you have hands and give pets, you are approved.
Sleep Style:
Dog bed or soft blanket near your bed. Close enough to feel safe. Not so close that she’s stealing your pillow. (She has boundaries. Regal ones.)
Dining Preferences:
High-quality kibble and alllll the snackies.
She eats politely, stops when she’s full, doesn’t guard her bowl, and doesn’t counter surf. A literal lady.
Bark-O-Meter:
1/10.
A queen does not shout. She announces potty needs.
Shedding Meter:
5/10.
Currently blowing her winter coat and briefly turned her foster home into an indoor snow globe. But regular brushing = very manageable fluff. (Just had an undercoat blow out. Trust me, it helps)
Fashion Sense:
Emerald green sequined gown + tiara.
Unless she’s adopted by the Packers. Then it’s jersey + tutu season.
Signature Color: Emerald green
Walk-Out Song: “I’m Winning” by Santana (that message... and those guitar riffs!)
Signature Move: Walk the catwalk… STOP… model pose.
Love Language:
Napping near you so you are the first thing she sees when she opens her beautiful eyes.
The Part That Matters Most:
Izzy has been deeply loved — twice — by people who had to say goodbye only because their bodies couldn’t keep up anymore.
She isn’t looking for excitement.
She isn’t looking for chaos.
She’s looking for one more person to walk gently into the future with.
If you want elegance, sweetness, and a little snow camouflage magic in your life… Izzy is ready.
