Izzy was first spotted on a dog meat truck that was collecting dogs at the local market for the slaughterhouse at the end of October 2018. Izzy remains to be the only Irish setter dog that we have ever found in the Chinese dog meat trade. The truck left the market and headed to the local slaughterhouse. We all remember how Izzy tried to run away as the meat traders took her off the truck to be placed into a pen at the slaughterhouse. Plush Bear activists luckily had followed the truck and were able to secure her release. Izzy soon caught the eye of a wonderful family in the UK that committed to adopting her and paid for all her vet bills and export costs. It took months of waiting but at last, in March 2019, she was united with the Carvalho family and taken to her forever home. Izzy now lives a perfect life in Essex, England. She spends her days following her mum Stacey around the house, playing fetch whilst running around the garden at lightning speed, and loves snuggling up on the sofa. Izzy lives a very active life exploring nearby trails and parks! She even goes to the local beach! Life for Izzy is very blessed and a far cry away from the evil dog meat trade.
