Itzly

Meet Itzly, a five-year-old Doberman mix.

She was owner surrendered simply because her previous family could not dedicate enough time to her, and she’s now hoping for a fresh start with someone who will truly appreciate her gentle, people-oriented nature.

Itzly is a petite girl for her breed mix, making her an especially charming and manageable companion. She already knows basic commands like "sit" and "paw," and she’s highly treat-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding. She walks well on leash and enjoys getting out for strolls, where she can take in the world at a relaxed, easygoing pace.

True to her affectionate personality, Itzly absolutely loves snuggles and being close to her people. She has lived in a home with both kids and cats and did well, showing a social and adaptable side when properly introduced and supervised. She enjoys companionship and will likely bond closely with her family. She does have a tendency to chase cats so a home without cats would be best or a home with cats that will stand their ground while you work with her. She was potty trained in a home environment, but we always encourage people to take dogs out frequently until a routine is established. She has been around kids and done well as well.

As a Doberman mix, Itzly reflects many of the traits the breed is known for — loyalty, intelligence, and a strong attachment to their humans. Doberman Pinscher dogs are also typically energetic and people-focused, thriving when they are included in daily life and given both mental and physical engagement. While Dobermans are often alert and protective by nature, they are also deeply affectionate "velcro dogs" who want to be near their people as much as possible.

Itzly is playful, loving, and ready to become someone’s constant companion. She’ll do best in a home that can continue her basic training, keep her engaged, and most importantly, give her the time and affection she’s been missing.
