Izzy lost her family and home to no fault of her own. It was a devastating surrender for the family who cared for her since she was a young pup raised with love and compassion. Things change in homes and the focus for Izzy is on her and finding her a home with no judgement for how she ended up in our care to see it through she finds the best home ever.
Izzy is dog friendly but we believe she’ll do best in a home where she is not vying for attention in a home with other dogs. She wants to be the only spoiled dog and have dog friends outside of the home.
Izzy is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, spayed and currently living in a foster home with other dogs. Please review her foster report to learn more about her.
Typically our dogs stay in a foster home where we can learn as much about them as possible to assist with our efforts for making the best match with a new home. The adjustment period for every dog is different while they are transitioning into a foster home as well as a forever home. Our foster providers send us their foster reports and the information received is updated on our website throughout the dogs time with us.
Our Foster Provider Program is an integral part of our mission to Respect the Dog. Without fosters, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. We are always actively screening individuals and families to provide our dogs with a safe, structured, foster home to give each dog the time, love and respect they deserve while they are in search of landing their forever home.

Meet-Our-Mutts
We are not open to the public. Our dogs are typically in foster homes. and therefore we ask that you not to come to our facility to meet dogs unless you have an appointment made in advance to do so.
Come to any one of our events featured on our events calendar page which are also posted on our Facebook event page. Event times and locations are subject to change.
We schedule in-store ‘Meet-Our-Mutt’ events twice a month held on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month. The dogs are chaperoned to the event by volunteers and we typically have the arrangements for which dogs will be on site a few days prior to the event date.
To inquire about which dogs will be at an event send our volunteer in-store events coordinator an email in advance.
Private introductions with a volunteer or the dogs foster provider are arranged after we have received an adoption application.
