We adopted little Izzy from a rescue center in southern Spain.. she was a street dog scavenging through the bins for food and when we first met her in the pound she knew we were going to adopt her and asked us to take her with us.
She has been the most delightful , intelligent, loving and compliant dog.
Friends of ours who don’t have dogs have said that if they could be guaranteed to have an Izzy that they would have a dog. However for us an Izzy is far too valuable to give away.
