About

Meet Izzy

DESCRIPTION: Incredible Izzy was picked up as a stray in the south. Although she was lucky to be picked up and brought to a shelter, unfortunately, with overwhelming numbers of homeless animals everywhere, her life remained in danger. Although shelter staff did everything they could to find her family, when no one stepped forward after her stray hold, Izzy found herself in a scary situation. Recognizing that Izzy, like so many others, deserved a chance to move forward safely, a plea for rescue placement was sent out to the GSD community. When asked if we could welcome Izzy to the MAGSR family, our team knew we were the right people to move this lovely girl forward.  Incredible Izzy is a bright, friendly, and energetic girl. She is looking for a family that will include her on their adventures keeping her body and her mind well exercised. Clearly well socialized prior to her arrival, Izzy loves her people and has done well with large furry friends. Although Izzy has begun developing a solid foundation, it is critical that her forever family continues to socialize her with new people, other animals, and in new environments. This will help Izzy continue to develop into a stable and confident adult. We do not know much about Izzy's past, but we do know that she has a bright future. As Izzy may not have much experience in a loving household, she will benefit from time and patience in her new home. With structure, routine, and leadership, Izzy will thrive. An intelligent girl, Izzy will be the star pupil at training. Not only will training help Izzy create a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen.  Unfortunately, we have learned that Izzy is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had she been provided a monthly preventative. Heartworm treatment is expensive; however, Izzy is clearly more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Izzy's care. Your donation will not only help Izzy continue to move forward, but it will also help us continue to support dogs with medical needs. Izzy will need to take it easy over the next few months as she undergoes heartworm treatment. She is hoping to take it easy while settling in with her forever family. If Izzy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this incredible girl today!
