This is Izzy. A curious, loving dog with a quiet spirit and a heart full of devotion. She wasn’t the kind of pup who demanded attention, but it meant everything when she chose to give it.
She snuggled on her terms, often independent but never distant. At bedtime, though, she had one favorite spot—resting across her human’s legs, a silent show of love and trust.

And when food was involved? Izzy was always nearby, watching patiently, hoping for a bit of taste to be part of the moment.
Izzy’s journey didn’t start easy. As a rescue, her first six months were filled with hardship. Those early struggles stayed with her, and her family always suspected that her health problems had roots in that problematic beginning.
But through it all, she grew into a beautiful soul—gentle, loyal, and deeply cherished.
She was only seven and a half when her body started to give in.
The weight fell off quickly. Her energy slipped away. By the time the diagnosis came—cancer—it was already too late to turn things around.

Today, surrounded by the people who loved her most, Izzy took her final breath. She left this world gently, held close by family, finally free from pain and exhaustion.
Though her time was far too short, the love she gave was endless. She will be remembered not for the illness that took her but for the warmth she brought to every room, the quiet cuddles, and how she made one heart feel a little less alone.

Run free now, sweet Izzy. You gave all the love you had—and you will always be loved in return. Your paw prints are forever etched in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to call you family.
