After 6 months in what was to be her forever home, Izzy is back with us. For some unknown reason, Izzy began having frequent accidents when she was left alone and her family was not able to figure out what was stressing her out. They made the incredibly hard decision to surrender her back to RAGOM. Thanks to her fantastic adoptive dad who brought her to see me numerous times, she remembered me and immediately made herself at home back in our house.
She gets along so perfectly with the resident girls and they seemed happy to welcome her back in the fold.
Having come to us as perhaps the most scared puppy mill girl we have fostered, she has come so far. She still loves to dart to her safe spot in her kennel if something spooks her, but most of the time she is hanging out with us. She loves to snuggle, is incredibly playful with both us and our resident dogs, and just seems like an all around happy girl. Having said all that, she definitely had her quirks, and may always have them. She will still run if I approach her head on (unless I am bent over and walking very slowly), loud noises cause her to bolt for safety, and any new movement or noise in her environment immediately puts her on guard.
Luckily, our house is relatively quiet and so she just shines here. When we are sitting down, she runs up to us and wants attention. Particularly with me, she is actually really frisky and jumps, paws at me and wants to play all the time. I absolutely love seeing her like this. She absolutely loves to play outside and zooms all over the back. While she is cautious of new people, she opens up so much quicker and will actually approach after a bit and allow petting.
As for her accidents. We have not had one here, however, we do crate her when we are gone and she does fantastic. The first few nights here, she was kenneled at night as she was when she was first with us. She had never really learned to do steps, and since our bedroom is up 1 1/2 flight of steps, she would not come up. After just a few days, she conquered her fear and now joins us upstairs every night for bed!! This was a huge step for her and us.
Izzy is truly one of the sweetest fosters we have had and she will always have a piece of our hearts. But, we know she needs a home to call all her own. If you are interested in this beautiful, petite girl, let your placement advisor know.
