Izzie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Here's Izzie. Born in August 2022, somewhere in India, Izzie was just a tiny puppy when her life took a turn. She should have been discovering the world with her mom, playing, growing, and learning to live without fear, but she experienced pain far too early. When she arrived at Animal Aid Unlimited, her hind leg was severely fractured. Her tail was also severely injured. Unfortunately, the vets had no choice but to amputate part of it to allow her to live without suffering.And if that wasn't enough, no one ever found her mom.No one came to pick her up.No one claimed this injured little puppy.So Izzie grew up alone. Without a family. Without a home. Without ever knowing what it means to belong to someone.Today, a slight limp still bears witness to her past. A small trace left by the ordeals she endured. But if you asked Izzie what she wants, she would say she just wants a loving home where she can be loved and cared for.

Attention les yeux, voici Izzie. Née en août 2022, quelque part en Inde, Izzie n’était encore qu’un tout petit chiot lorsque sa vie a basculé. Alors qu’elle aurait dû découvrir le monde aux côtés de sa maman, jouer, grandir et apprendre à vivre sans peur, elle a connu la douleur bien trop tôt.Lorsqu’elle est arrivée à Animal Aid Unlimited, sa patte arrière était gravement fracturée. Sa queue était elle aussi sévèrement blessée. Les vétérinaires n’ont malheureusement pas eu d’autre choix que d’amputer une partie de celle-ci pour lui permettre de vivre sans souffrance.Et comme si cela ne suffisait pas, personne n’a jamais retrouvé sa maman.Personne n’est venu la chercher.Personne n’a réclamé ce petit chiot blessé.Alors Izzie a grandi seule. Sans famille. Sans foyer. Sans jamais connaître ce que signifie appartenir à quelqu’un.Aujourd’hui encore, une légère boiterie témoigne de son passé. Une petite trace laissée par les épreuves qu’elle a traversées. Mais si vous demandiez à Izzie ce qu’el

About Izzie

What life with Izzie looks like

Izzie is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Les Amis d in France.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Izzie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Izzie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Les Amis d handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Izzie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Izzie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Les Amis d will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Izzie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Izzie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Les Amis d early rather than rehoming privately; they know Izzie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
