"ISABELLA" (IZZY) *pocket-size* *full of personality* POM/CHI mix "PROJECT POOCH"

 "Project POOCH, quite simply, changes lives. We operate a kennel inside a youth correctional facility and pair currently incarcerated youth with shelter dogs. The youth learn kennel management, positive reinforcement, grooming, and training techniques. The youth learn what it means to be depended on by another living creature and what it means to be trusted and relied upon. And, they learn what unconditional love feels like—sometimes for the first time. Our dogs get trained, loved, and adopted into their forever homes. There is no limit to the amount of time a dog spends in our care, and we are focused on the individual needs of each dog."

ISABELLA spayed female Appx. 6-year-old Pomeranian/Chihuahua Mix, 7 lbs

Isabella is quite the princess. In her little 6 lb frame she has packed a lot of personality. She holds her own with over exuberant young dogs, demands the attention she deserves, and rests on thrones fit for royalty.

She adores her subjects (all humans) and wants to greet everyone she sees on her walks. Izzy is excellent royalty like that. When you are sitting down, whether on the couch or the floor, she trots herself over to come lay down next to you. Sometimes she will even roll over for a little belly rub time. There is no doubt when Izzy wants affection as she will nudge you until you keep petting her.

Izzy is tolerant of other dogs, but isn't looking for a dog friend to play with. She will let bigger dogs know when they are in her space with a little bark, but is a believer in live and let live. Sometimes she allows another dog to snuggle her, but other times she would prefer to have her space.

Speaking of Snuggles, Izzy is a fan of the biggest beds to curl up on. Extra fluff, super sized, bolstered sides: all things that are fit for royalty such as her! 

If you’re looking for a quiet presence to add to your home, Izzy might be the dog for you. She brings a comforting calm to the kennel, with her adorable looks, big personality, and maturity
