Meet Izakaya! This beautiful 46-pound girl has the most striking coloring, the cutest ears, and a calm, independent personality that makes her such a pleasant companion. She is very easy to leash up and has lovely manners once outside, generally keeping a loose leash and passing other dogs without reacting. Izakaya likes a leisurely walk so she can investigate every interesting scent she can find. A walk with Izakaya is less of a hurried march and more of a peaceful amble through the grass, with plenty of time built in for sniffing!
This sweet girl can be a little shy when first meeting someone and may need time to build a connection, but she is becoming braver every day. The way to her heart may be through her stomach-cheese is an excellent place to start, though she is also happy to accept a Milk-Bone! This easy-going girl has a great "sit." On a Dog's Day Out adventure, Izakaya was sweet and gentle and the easiest leash walker. She was a bit shy at first, but by the end of her outing she started to get more playful.
Izakaya enjoyed a weekend slumber party with a volunteer and we learned so much about her. She is perfect passenger in the car - hops right in and sits quietly, just taking in the sights. This polite, well mannered girl was not destructive at all and doesn't bother anything that's not hers. She was 100% house trained, with no accidents at all during her stay. She slept soundly through the night on her dog bed next to her volunteer friend's bed until she was ready to rise!
Izakaya has met other dog pals at BARCS, she does best with gentle dog pals.
Izakaya doesn't ask for much - she just wants to be close to her people and be part of the family. Whether you're relaxing at home or going about your daily routine, she's happy just being by your side. Izakaya is currently in the comfort of a foster home. If you're interested in meeting her, please complete an application and email dogfosters@barcs.org for next steps!
