About Izzy
Meet Izzy, a stunning Foxhound with a brindle and white/cream coat, rescued as a young mama with seven pups in May 2023. This large adult is a certified snuggle-hound with a nose that never quits, a wagging tail, and a brain that loves puzzle toys. Shy at first, she warms up to reveal “I’d do crimes for treats” eyes and polite snack requests. House-trained and trained with the Colwell Rescue Program (“sit” and “no”), Izzy is playful, smart, and loyal, ready to be someone’s best girl.
Characteristics
Affectionate & Loyal: Izzy transforms into a snuggler once she trusts you.
Playful & Smart: Loves puzzle toys, sniffaris, and responds well to training.
Hound Spirit: Relishes outdoor exploration with her keen nose.
Selective: Great with dogs, but prefers no cats or chickens.
Health and Care
Izzy is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has a clean health check as of October 2025, reflecting her resilience as a rescue mom. Her adoption includes a microchip with registration. She’s house-trained and needs a tall, secure fence for her sniffing adventures. An active, patient home without cats or chickens is ideal to support her needs.
Izzy’s Story
Izzy, a Foxhound mix, arrived at Castoff Pet Rescue in Blairsville, GA, in May 2023 as a young mama with seven newborns, her heart full of hope. Her pups found homes, but Izzy has waited over two years for her turn. A survivor turned snuggler, she’s honed her nose work and mastered “sit” and “no” through the Colwell Rescue Program.
Shy at first, Izzy blossoms with patience, offering goofy charm and treat-driven loyalty. She thrives with dogs but sees cats and chickens as snacks, needing a tall fence and a hound-savvy owner. This playful, smart hound is ready to trade shelter life for a forever home filled with love and sniffari missions.
Ideal Home
Izzy would thrive in an active, patient home with a tall, securely fenced yard for her sniffing and play. She’s perfect for someone who enjoys training, outdoor time, and understands hound behavior, with compatibility for other dogs but no cats or chickens. A rural or suburban setting in Blairsville or nearby, with space for her energy and a cozy sofa for snuggles, will make Izzy’s rescue glow-up complete.
