GORGEOUS, SUPER SWEET IZZY, AN AMERICAN BULLDOG

needs a special person as she's a special needs girl!

Izzy was rescued as a small pup from a bad situation. She is a charming stunning little dog that will steal your heart. However, She is deaf, inherited genes which sometimes come with this beautiful white color coat in American bulldogs. She was adopted by, and has been living and LOVED by, a family for the past two years with a few other dogs, and a cat, and did great! The dynamics in the household have now dramatically changed, however, with older parents moving in and a new baby, which has caused Izzy great confusion (not unexpected) and causing her to struggle and not get along with the other dogs. She is not comfortable nor confident in the house now, when she once thrived, and doesn't now have the same great relationship w/the other dogs. ( This circumstance is not unusual for any dog). So, we prefer a home without other dogs where Izzy can get the sole attention she deserves.

The person we are seeking is one who has a compassion for special needs dogs because that is what Izzy is - she is deaf - so commands must be "signed" w/her - just as you would communicate with a deaf human. Visual vs. auditory is required. Hand signals are what she knows and responds to. She also knows basic hand commands of sit, stay, and come.

Izzy is a very loving, sweet girl and LOVES all people - hasn't met a stranger yet. she just loves her humans and wants to be w/them. She comes with many good references for he sweet personality! She loves to play and run around in her current large fenced yard, likes her toys but, also loves to be your snuggle companion on the couch. Izzy is kind of a "velcro" dog as she will follow you anywhere and so wants to please her humans! She will bring so much joy to you as she's that awesome and special!
