"IZZIE" amazing DOBIE/ Border Collie mix * in foster- "YAKIMA HUMANE SOCIETY:

(IZZIE is in a Foster Home )

Yakima, WA is a long drive from Portland, but the Yakima Humane Society seems like a decent animal shelter that could use a boost for attention.   They spay/neuter all their adoption pets and try to do adequate adoption screening (which is more than can be currently said of Mult County animal shelter!)

IZZIE intake 3/21/25  Pet id 57093893  Adoption fee $175

FB Post In foster "Listed as" Doberman/BorderCollie", female, 2 years 5 months 26 days  

"Izzie is another one of our amazing dogs in foster. Read below for a little write up from her foster mom and head on over to our website to apply to adopt her today!
 
Izzie is an adorable 2-year-old Doberman/ Border Collie mix. Izzie can be a bit shy when you first meet her, but with a little patience (and maybe some chicken jerky) she transforms into the silliest and most loving little girl. Inside the home Iz is an absolute cuddle bug. She wants to be right next to you, napping (normally on her back with her paws up in the air), or relishing in your attention and affection. She loves slow mornings that start with lots of cuddles. When her nightly zoomies kick in, she loves playing tug-of-war and will happily dart around the house, hoping you’ll chase her. 
 
Outside, Izzie enjoys exploring her surroundings and making new dog friends. She absolutely lights up when she gets to run and play with a furry companion and burn off some of her energy! She is very submissive with other dogs and does a good job at reading their body language to make sure they are also enjoying playing with her. She is a great running/ walking companion.
 
 Izzie is always excited to get outside, and she doesn’t pull on the leash. When she gets let off of her leash she likes to sniff around and explore but will always run right back to her person. 
 
Izzie rarely chews on items and can always be redirected with a bone or toy. When Izzie first came into foster care, she was pretty nervous and definitely had a few accidents. However, as she has gotten more comfortable, they have become increasingly rare, and she is good at letting you know if she needs to go out. She is not very food motivated, and often lets her breakfast sit until the afternoon (teenagers!).
 
 Izzie has a skittish side, especially with men, which may be the result of some past trauma. She is wary of strangers, but we have seen her gain so much confidence in approaching and engaging with people since coming into foster care. Once you earn her trust, you’ll have a devoted and loving best friend who just wants to be wherever you are.
