🌟 Tiny and Totally Adorable

Isla is a one-year-old bundle of curly cuteness who weighs just 8 pounds. With her prancing steps and curious eyes, she’s guaranteed to steal your heart. Her foster family can’t stop gushing about how ridiculously adorable she is—and they’re not wrong!


🐕 Shy but Loving

At first, Isla can be a bit shy and skittish, especially around new people or loud noises. Men can make her nervous, but with patience, love, and maybe some tasty treats, she starts to warm up. Even sudden movements, like turning lights on or off, can spook her, so she’s looking for a calm and understanding family to help her feel safe.


🏡 Isla’s Ideal Home

  • Fenced Yard Required: Isla loves running around outside and isn’t leash-trained yet, so a secure backyard is a must for her zoomie-filled adventures.
  • Doggy Companionship: Isla thrives with other dogs and needs a forever home where she has a canine buddy to help her build confidence.
  • Calm Environment: A quiet, patient family will help Isla feel secure and loved.

🐾 At Home with Isla

  • Play & Snuggles: Isla loves snuggling with her foster siblings and lounging on the couch during TV time.
  • Potty Pro: Fully potty trained, she uses both potty pads and the great outdoors like a champ.
  • No Crates, Please: Isla prefers a safe, open space over a crate.

💖 Ready to Love and Be Loved

Isla may need a little extra patience and kindness, but she has so much love to give in return. With time, she’ll learn to trust and thrive in her forever home. If you’re looking for a pint-sized pup with a playful spirit, a love for other dogs, and the cutest prance ever, Isla might be your perfect match.

*Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal’s bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
