- Isabella is curious and inquisitive, as a 5 month old puppy her mind and body are growing quickly and she is settling into hwe personality as she becomes settled in her foster home.

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.
