Birthday: August 1st 2007 Arrival Story: My name is Isabel! I am very special because I have helped out a lot of people. I am a retired research beagle (that just means I was used in biomedical research), and now I have been given the chance to be adopted as a pet and learn what life outside of a laboratory is really like! Bio: I only have 1 kidney. (I was used to help in kidney transplant research! Wow!) Just like people, I am expected to live a normal and healthy life with just one kidney, so I hope this makes me even more special in your eyes! I don't need special medications or food or anything - just a loving home to show me what life as a loving housepet can be!
Update: My foster mom calls me "Izzie." I LOVE to play with other smaller dogs! I am cratetrained and working on my housetraining! Once I am comfortable, I am amazing in my home, but there are still a lot of things in the real world that scare me a bit. I would do well in a home with older children, or an adults only home - preferably with a fenced in yard. I love toys and carry them around with me, so my new home should have plenty! My adopters will need to understand that given my background, I will need slow, patient and positive exposures to everything in the real world.
WE WOULD LOVE FOR ISABEL TO BE ADOPTED WITH HER FOSTER SISTER, MAGGIE (SEE BELOW)! I've Been On Dogster Since:
