Rescuers found the 2 puppies, but Lizzy was nowhere in sight, thankfully they were able to trap her and reunited her with her puppies that same day.Lizzy is very skittish and timid, and she will need an adopter that’s willing to work with her to help her bond to them and help her overcome her insecurities. She is great with all dogs and was a wonderful mom to her puppies, then when we got 5 puppies with no mama, she was an awesome surrogate mom. Lizzy needs canine companions to keep her company, and this helps her confidence soars when she has a friend to look to for guidance. Lizzy is such a sweetheart and since being in her foster home has really starting to blossom, please find it in your heart to help this darling baby doll be the best dog she can be and enjoy a loving fun life with no fear of ever being hurt again.we recommend basic training to all not only is this good for your new dog but for you too, as this is a wonderful way to bond and so much fun. Training is imperative for any new dog going to a new home, not only for obedience but also for trust and respect.NOT CAT TESTED AND NO CHILDREN UNDER 14 YEARS OF AGE.If you are interested in adopting LIZZY, please apply at: /apply-to-adoptAll our adoptable dogs are up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing, monthly preventative, and have been spayed or neutered.Everyone must submit an application before an appointment is made to meet the dogs.
