Hi there!  I am Isabella - my foster family calls me Izzy sometimes! I am new to this whole foster thing, but boy is it great to have a warm soft bed to sleep on, regular meals, toys to play with and walks! I really like those walks and I recently got to go to this place called a dog park! WOW - that was amazing as there was so much room for me to stretch my long legs and really run and there were so many other dogs and people there to make friends with! My foster mom said I did great and speak "dog" very well - not sure what she means by that, but I just like to have fun and skip the drama with the bossy dogs. She said I was "hogging" the water fountain, but I really love that thing and like to lay down and put my head in the cool water and slosh around.  

I really like my foster people and stick pretty close to them - they say I am a little like velcro, whatever that is. But I am pretty sure they need me to be involved with everything they do! I love hugs, ear and belly rubs, kisses and playtime - they have a ball they toss for me to play catch and I am really good at that. It is fun to jump and catch that ball! My FM says I will get a family of my very own one day soon that will love me and play catch with me too - that sounds pretty awesome! If they have other dogs, that would be pretty wonderful too because I really like having dog friends to play with.  

I am still learning, but I know how to sit and I am learning down and stay. FM says I am really smart and I sure do like those treats when she says we are "working" and I figure out what she is asking me to do. I know when my FM gets my harness out that we are going somewhere, so I help her by putting my front paws in her lap and kissing her while she puts the harness on so she will know how happy I am about that! She says I wiggle a lot! I am still a growing girl and need my beauty sleep, so sometimes, I put myself to bed in my crate after a long, busy day.
