Old Dominion Humane Society pet of the week~ Izzy

Izzy (Greyhound Mix) came to ODHS by way of NC where his previous family was moving but leaving the dogs behind. We're told that Izzy is 18 months old so he may put on some weight but we do not expect him to grow any larger. He currently weighs 45 lbs. He is a fawn brindle greyhound mix. We're not sure what the mix is but regardless, Izzy is a lovable boy. He loves his foster family and wants to be wherever they are at the moment.. 

When properly introduced Izzy gets along well with other dogs. He is easily corrected but sensitive to a harsh tone of voice. He wants so very much to please you. Izzy's closest buddy is a 4 month old lab mix. Izzy is house and crate trained. He is learning basic commands but he already knows sit. Izzy is also very gentle when taking food or treats. At the end of the day when everybody settles down Izzy is content to curl up in the corner of the couch, or, next to you. 

Because he is a sight hound Izzy will require a fenced in yard and can never be trusted to be off leash in an unenclosed area. He has not been cat tested.

House trained • Spayed/Neutered • Shots Current
