My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi I`m Lizzy, and I am here to tell you all about Me!

I came into the shelter as a stray in Feb 2024. Even though no one came for me, I think I still have a lot of love and life to give and hope someone will give a chance to show it.

I have struggled adjusting to shelter life, but thanks to some of my human friends I am starting to get the hang of things. I even got to be in a foster home for a whole month where I learned soooo much!

I can be a little nervous in new environments, but once I get comfortable I am able to enjoy my surroundings. In foster I learned where to go potty (apparently its not inside the house, who knew?!) and how nice it is to have a comfy couch to snuggle up on. Walks are so much fun, but I am still perfecting my leash walking skills so please be patient with me. I can get excited when I see other dogs or people, but my human friends are teaching me that treats are way more fun than anything else going on around me.

Speaking of other dogs, I have made some doggie friends at the shelter and have started expanding my friend group. My play style isnt for everyone, so if you already have a dog, bring them in so we can so how our vibes mix.

You should also know that I am a fetch enthusiast, a pro at sit, know the place command, and have started learning so many other things. I dont want to brag, but I am pretty smart. Please come on down and meet me, I am so ready to fill your life with fun and love.
