Lizzie is a sweet, shy boxer/American bulldog mix searching for a home where she will finally feel safe. For months she avoided people, drifting near a busy road until rescuers earned her trust. Now, Lizzie leans on those she loves, revealing her playful and goofy boxer side behind closed doors. She’s still wary of strangers, especially men, and prefers a slow introduction; yet, when she does connect, she turns loyal and affectionate. Lizzie may bark at other dogs on walks, but has lived comfortably with a smaller dog and enjoys well-managed play sessions with male dogs at the shelter. Loud noises, sudden movements, or unfamiliar environments can trigger her flight response, so she needs careful supervision and secure leashing. Lizzie weighs in at 63 lbs, is spayed, vaccinated, and looking for someone patient enough to let her settle and flourish. Expect a gradual warm-up—she may need several visits to trust you, but her friendship is worth every ounce of patience. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
