Izzy, a 5-year-old female husky, and her human companion, Melissa Foster, moved to the Palisades from El Paso, Texas, in May of last year. Foster shared that a longtime dream of hers was to live by the ocean, so she chose the Palisades—and has been absolutely loving it. “Of all areas I looked at in LA, I feel the most at peace surrounded by the serene and breathtaking views of Pacific Palisades,” Foster shared. “The weather is su- perb, all of the people I have met have been so welcoming, I’m so joyful and grateful that I was able to move here.” Foster and Izzy began working as a pet therapy team in 2016. When they moved to LA, they looked for ways to continue giving back to the community. “As soon as we moved here, we knew we wanted to continue being a pet therapy team, so we did everything we needed to do,” Foster said. Together, they joined UCLA People-Animal Con- nection in August 2019.
