Phone interviews do not take place til after an approved application is on file and we have a possible match for your home My name is Elisabeth, but my friends call me Lizzy. I am 4.5 years old and weigh 10 pounds. I need a new home because I was released from a puppy mill. I am being fostered in Ames, Iowa. Hi friends… I’m Lizzy. I’m a very sweet girl who is just beginning to discover what life as a loved family dog is all about. My early life didn’t give me many chances to learn about the world, so some things are still new to me. But every day I get a little braver. What I do know already is that I love people. Being close to my humans and curling up beside them makes me feel safe and happy. I’m also having a lot of fun playing with my foster brother, who is helping show me how to be a dog. I’m working hard on my leash skills and potty training, and my foster family says I’m doing really well. I just need a patient family who understands that everything is new to me and will help me keep learning. I would love a calm home that will give me time to blossom. Having another friendly dog in the house could help me feel even more confident. I may start out a little shy, but with kindness and love, I promise to become the sweetest, most loyal companion you could ask for. I’ve waited a long time for my forever home… maybe it’s with you. 💛 Here's a little more about me: Housetrained? Working on it Leash-trained? Working on it Rides well in car?

All our dogs are spayed/neutered (if six months and older), up to date on rabies and distemper, heartworm tested, and microchipped. Other medical needs diagnosed while in foster care are also treated prior to adoption. MABTR requires a fenced in area from families who own their home, however we DO adopt to apartment complexes and communities where fences are not permitted due to leases and covenants. In these cases a leash law must be enforced. We do not accept invisible fencing. MABTR only adopts to families residing in NE, CO, MO, KS, IA, WY, SD, ND, ID, UT, MT, MN, and NW AR due to the lack of volunteer support in other states, no exception even if you are willing to drive.
