Our sweet and beautiful Izzy couldn't be more loving no matter how hard she may try. Izzy is an 18 month old, 10 lb Beagle / Dachshund that is just waiting to be the love of someone's life.

Both Dachshund and Beagle mixes continue to be very popular choices made by families searching for a sweet and cuddly family dog. It makes perfect sense in that they're known for their engaging temperaments, intelligence, cottony-soft coats and easygoing personalities.

Farfel's makes an effort to rescue as many smaller dogs (that excel in their temperament testing) as possible with the confidence that they'll be sweet and loving family members. Izzy has all these wonderful traits and is described by her Texas rescuer as "absolutely wonderful".

Izzy has had a challenging period of time but is now safe and sound never to be cold or hungry again. But with it all, Izzy doesn't hold a grudge and desires only to be the best companion possible. Since Izzy is just a young girl, she's a blank slate open to all behavioral possibilities if treated kindly and with respect.

Positive reinforcement / force-free training classes will truly serve both Izzy and her family (as it does every dog and their people). Together they will learn the skills so this sweet pup becomes a loving companion that is well-behaved in almost all situations. It also creates strong bonds of love and respect between dog and family.

Izzy, while initially a bit shy due to all the changes in her life, tends to be a happy-go-lucky girl who loves life and responds so well to nurturing and time spent together..and of course some yummy treats are always a wonderful option. Izzy gets very attached to those she loves and before you know it, is on her way to her favorite people's lap for belly rubs and kind words.

Izzy loves to come along for a hike / walk, a day in the park or just socializing at home will speak to this sweet girl's love of her family and having fun. Izzy would always love to be there as a best friend and partner. She has such a pleasant personality and is kind and low-maintenance enough to fit in just about anywhere.

Izzy wouldn't be happy spending the long hours of full-time employment outside of the home alone. She is far too people-oriented to be happy with that arrangement. A retiree or a younger family that works from a home-based office would be a great choice for our sweet girl. Izzy would love the periodic belly rubs, walks and consistency of those relationships. Being a young dog, she'll also learn that she's always loved and cared for. This is a lesson that results in a happy and confident dog.

Izzy has a gorgeous coat (with stunning brindle markings!) that is currently shelter-sad. It's clear that her coat will require a lifelong commitment to periodic baths / brushing and excellent nutrition, A five star food and a daily salmon oil supplement will bring Izzy's coat back to the cottony-soft and shining coat that is consistent with her breed mix.

Izzy has been fully vetted and vaccinated to support Farfel's commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She has also been spayed to further our hopes of a euthanasia - free future in the overpopulated canine world.

Izzy will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 11/12/2025. If interested in this very sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ completely and submit.

**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Izzy, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
