- Is your dog house trained: Isabella is getting there. She lasts the night in her crate and is hitting 100% if the foster family are on top of watching clues and getting her outside. She is learning from her foster broth to ask to go outside by using bells hung on the door.
- Is your dog crate trained: Isabella has learned to sleep in her crate all night beside her foster parent's bed. She does not like being far from her family and is working on being cordoned off in a safe place during the day when someone is working from home. During the day, she knows that crate means treats and is comfortable going in and will continue to work on settling after the kong is done.

- Does your dog have any unique traits you have noticed whether in personality or physically: Isabella is beautiful dog, and a good mix of playful and calm. She is showing the smartness of her german shepherd-husky genes and as she is very food driven, she continues to show her big potential for training.

- What are the 3 first words that come to mind when you think of your dog: Smart, playful and full of love.
- Isabella is curious and inquisitive, as a 4 month old puppy her mind and body are growing quickly. We anticipate that she will be a very smart, big dog that would do well with a single person, a family, with an older dog or on her own. She is looking to put down roots with a loving family who will be understanding of her genes as she learns to grow into a beautiful adult dog.
