Pet of the Week: Meet Izzy

Izzy
1-year-old Female Mixed Breed

Hi, I’m Izzy — your future personal trainer, emotional support tornado, and CEO of Zoomies. If you’re looking for a calm, gentle, dainty little flower … babe, keep scrolling. I am pure, unfiltered ENERGY wrapped in fur and fueled by snacks. I’m a free spirit with opinions, enthusiasm for everything, and absolutely zero chill.

When you first meet me, I might tiptoe up like, “Uhh, hi … who are you?” But give me 30 seconds and BOOM! I’m jumping, wiggling, body-slamming, and trying to kiss your entire face because suddenly we are BEST FRIENDS. I warm up fast. Maybe too fast. No refunds.

Leash walking? Yeah, no. I walk you. I’ve got places to be and zoomies to unleash. Manners? Look, I know sit. I know shake. I can take treats gently … but the second excitement hits (which is always), I go full piranha-meets-parkour. I don’t mean to. I just have so much love and energy that it SHOOTS out of my body like electricity.

Dogs? I want to like them! I really do! I get nervous and make weird noises and get mohawk fur when I’m not sure. Sometimes I’m brave, sometimes I’m “hide behind my human” scared, sometimes I’m “omg let’s PLAY.” I’m figuring it out.

Apartment? Sure — if you’re basically an athlete. Kids? Maybe older ones who don’t mind getting accidentally WWE-launched.

Cats? I dunno, haven’t met one. If you’re the kind of person who laughs instead of cries when a dog body-checks you out of pure joy, then honey … I’m your girl.

Humans? YES. ALL HUMANS. I love you. I love your attention. I love your pets. I love the hot dog I know is in your pocket. My dream home is shared with someone who’s genuinely active, not just in theory but in the way they move through life with real energy.

It’s someone who laughs at chaos instead of fearing it, who can joke with me through the mess and motion. It’s someone patient enough to help me learn better manners, especially so I can finally stop using my mouth like a third hand.

Most of all, it’s someone who understands that I’m a wild child at heart, full of love, always running at full speed, and completely unfamiliar with the concept of a low-energy day.
