January 20, 2011: Izzy is an adorable and friendly pup who loves to cuddle! He's a very sweet boy who loves everybody he meets!
He's still not sure about playing with the bigger dog in the house, but he loves to play with his sister. At this time Izzy is unable to go up or down stairs, and we are still working on potty training since he is a very young puppy. He is doing very well learning by touch what he is supposed to do. He is very smart and eager to learn. Izzy is small but growing each day.
Izzy is a very special pup!! If you think you have the perfect home for Izzy, please fill out an adoption application and we will start the process. Since he is deaf and has limited vision, he will need an adopter that is both patient and willing to take on the necessary life commitment to train and help Izzy with all of his special needs.
